The SportsBoss: NFL 2013: Coaching Changes from Prior Season

My latest NFL 2013 Preview entry identifies all changes at either Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator or Defensive Coordinator for every NFL team entering the upcoming season. I lay out each change by team, label what positions the new coach had over the prior 3 years, discuss each coaches NFL ties, and lastly call out weeks where this new coach could potentially have some insider information making it easier for his new team to game-plan for an opponent. Remember, while these relationships are key and can certainly assist a team in preparing for a specific opponent, generally, these coaches also need good teams and the right personnel to take advantage of this edge.
