Coaching Savant

Every coach, and where he came from

Every NFL head coach since 1999 and every play-caller since 2018 — what they won, whether they beat what the market expected, how they handle fourth down, what their offences and defences actually look like, and whose staff they learned it on.

About

What is Coaching Savant?

Coaching Savant is a free profiler of NFL coaches from Western Conference Elitists: every head coach since 1999, and every play-caller since 2018.

For each coach it shows what he won, whether his teams beat what the betting market expected of them, how he handles fourth down, and what his units actually look like on each side of the ball. Its centerpiece is a coaching tree drawn back to Paul Brown, with each coach colored by career win rate.

Records and play-by-play come from open nflverse data. Who coached under whom, and who called the plays, is in no open dataset: both are curated by hand from the public record, and the page says so wherever they appear.
