Head coaches who were also coordinators
-
I read the question as the HC having been Coordinator, then HC for the same team.
George Seifert succeeded Bill Walsh in San Francisco.
Blanton Collier ('64 NFL Champion HC) succeeded Paul Brown in Cleveland, but I DON'T know whether or not Collier was a Coordinator for the Browns.

I met one man filling both positions at the same time.
As in why can't Pet at least supervise the defense unless he sucks as bad as his little buddy?

Steve,
When in Cleveland, Marty served as his own Offensive Coordinator.

I knew what you meant, Steve... must stem from us thinking so much alike.
Ding ding ding... Marty!!!
I mean, refusing to hire an OC only got him fired. How'd I forget that!
Peyton did call plays in NOLA... still does, but always had an OC.
Pet called the defensive plays last year. Gave it up this year to focus on the O.

So we went from 18th to 32nd against the run with Pettine working on the defense and now we go from 17th to 32nd rushing the ball with Pettine working with the offense.

If memory serves me correctly, I think Halas was a HC and owner.
The NFL will never see that again.

Sherman may have done it in Green Bay. He called plays at A&M.

I know in Philly Reid produced quite a string of OCs including Childress and Morninweg, and I thought he took Pederson with him to KC to be his OC.

Good points but the year I was thinking about was 1999. However, turns out I was was wrong. His OC in 99 was Rod Dowhower. Sorry about that.
