NFL Head Coach Performance Trends:
As I indicated in the first part of what is to be a three-part series on expanding the trends offered in the VSiN NFL Analytics Report, there have been a lot of definitive NFL head coach, team, and quarterback tendencies that have developed in recent years in the league that I haven’t stressed enough for readers. That all changes now. Going forward, for the Analytics Report each week, we will be fitting these new trends to that week’s games, pointing out each and every time they will apply.
This second part of the three-part series reveals some of the top NFL head coach trends that have emerged. Note that even though the current team is listed for each trend, the data used to develop the angle may or may not include the previous team(s) that the coach has been with. Also, if an NFL head coach is not listed, most likely the sample size wasn’t big enough or the angles definitive enough to consider it a tendency. Obviously, there could be some overlap with the team trends piece from earlier.
