Head Coaching Longevity One team
-
Mike Tomlin just signed a 3 year extension. If he coaches to the end of that extension it will mean he will have coached 18 years with one team. Very few coaches in history have gone that long with one team:
George Halas Bears 40 years
Tom Landry Cowboys 29 years
Don Shula Dolphins 26 years (also coached Colts for 7 years)
Steve Owen Giants 24 years
Chuck Noll Steelers 23 years
Curly Lambeau Packers 21 years
Bill Belichick Patriots 21 years and counting (also coached Browns 5 years)
Others:
Hank Stram 17 years with Chiefs
Joe Gibbs 16 years with Redskins (not consecutive)
Paul Brown 17 years with Browns (also coached Bengals)
Bill Cowher 15 years with Steelers
Sean Payton 16 years with Saints and counting.
Also note: John Harbaugh has coached the Ravens just one year less than Tomlin has been with Steelers.
Only other active coach with 10 or more years with same team is Pete Carroll with Seahawks.
Andy Reid has a total of 22 coaching seasons between the Eagles (14 yrs) and the Chiefs (8 years)
Also: Weeb Ewbank, Mike Shanahan and Tom Couglin each put in 20 years of coaching with multiple teams.
Weeb Ewbank is still the only one of two coaches to win Championships with 2 different teams. Guy Chamberlain from like the 20s did also.

Notes:
The Head Coach with the fewest career victories is Guy Chamberlain with only 81 wins. Of course, he coached in the 20s when fewer games were played, but, his teams also won 4 championships in that decade. So that makes him HOF, for sure.
The HC with the most wins who is eligible, but is not in the HOF? Marty Schottenheimer with 200 career victories.

If this ownership can keep the same HC, and let him build a structure of smart coaches , and have the players be very capable of dominating the field, and he continues to win, then this Browns team can be back in the headlines as a threat to the teams in our division and across the league. That's how it should be and how it should remain. GO BROWNS !

As of now, I would say that is exactly where they are. Here are the odds, not that I fully comprehend these numbers:

If Stefanski is better than Wayne Fontz, he will last 9 full seasons with the Browns.

Funny, but think at that for a few moments...lol
