Jets to Hire Todd Bowles as Head Coach

[The New Guy]

Dude. You are dealing in too large of time frame. You gotta stick with the smaller time frame so everyone can follow along.

Like 2009 - 2010?

Pretty much.

First time for both...name the last time a 1st time HC and 1st time GM have been successful. I cant think of any.

Tony Sparano and Jeff Ireland? Joe Philbin and Jeff Ireland? Joe Philbin and Dennis Hickey?

technically Bowles has HC experience and has a winning record unlike Philbin.



to answer your question Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton were 1st time GM and HC and won a SB as were Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy in recent years

 

[Ben Had]

I figured it wasn't many.

I figured it wasn't many.

I only went back a few years, I am sure there are more.

I don't think Ozzie held the title but he was basically the Bal GM w/ 1st time HC Billick

1996 Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren

1992/1993 Jimmy Johnson & Jerry Jones

1986/1990 George Young and Bill Parcells

1982/1987 Bobby Beathard and Joe Gibbs

1985 Jerry Vanisi & Mike Ditka

I can go on.

 

[Ben Had]

So...possibly 2 this century.

How many first timers didn't work out?
