The NFL is witnessing a remarkable trend of quick coaching turnarounds, with several teams performing well under new leadership. The Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, and Los Angeles Chargers are all in playoff contention, showcasing the effectiveness of their new head coaches.
Dan Quinn's Commanders boast a 7-4 record, while Raheem Morris' Falcons lead the NFC South at 6-4. Jim Harbaugh's Chargers are also in the mix with a 6-3 record, demonstrating that new coaches can have an immediate impact.
Despite some rookie coaches struggling, the trend of first-year coaches leading teams to the playoffs continues, with a history of at least one team achieving this feat each year since 2006.
