As the NFL playoffs continue, we are seeing the eliminated teams make some significant coaching changes. In the post below, I'll list a few of the head coaching changes that have occurred for some teams in the past week, and give my analysis. Let's begin.
Detroit Lions - Jim Caldwell: This news broke yesterday via ESPN, and to me, it makes a lot of sense. The Lions are a team of immense talent, but lack discipline. Caldwell brings Tony Dungy-esque leadership and discipline, which should bode well for Detroit. They should become immediate contenders for the NFC North title.
Minnesota Vikings - Mike Zimmer: This move happened earlier this morning, and seemed like a bit of a surprise. I didn't think Coach Zimmer was going to get a HC job this season, but I'm glad he did. As a Cowboys fan, I always enjoyed his defensive work when he coached the Cowboys defense, and I was a fan of what he did with Cincinnati. However, this team is need of a lot of pieces right now, so it will be interesting to see how he will handle it as a rookie head coach.
Tennessee Titans - Ken Whisenhunt: Arguably the most surprising HC move of the week. It seemed certain that Whiz was going to Detroit. But, in a shock movie, he chose the Titans. Of the 3 coaches that I've mentioned, he's the most successful (multiple playoff trips with ARI), so I will be curious to see how he will do with Tennessee team that can't get over the .500 mark. They are a few steps away from being a playoff team, so a lot of us will be watching carefully to see if he can get them to the postseason.
