Teams considering a coaching change should be encouraged by some of the quick turnarounds around the NFL. Dan Quinn's Washington Commanders (7-4) led that group in victories despite a 26-18 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday night. At least one NFL team with a new coach has reached the playoffs every year since the 2006 season. In 2022, a record five first-year coaches led their teams to the postseason. The Chargers already had franchise QB Justin Herbert and were a playoff team in 2022.
