How this works

Head coaches come from the game-by-game schedule. Coordinators are compiled by hand from team staff listings and season articles, one source per name (click a name). A coordinator change during the season shows the weeks each held the job. Play-calling is noted where reported; it is the least certain column.

Frequently asked questions

Why do defensive coordinator changes matter for fantasy?

Scheme habits such as blitz rate and man coverage carry over strongly when the coordinator stays (year-over-year r around 0.7 in 2023–25) and mostly reset when he leaves (around 0 to 0.3). So last season’s scheme numbers are a poor guide for a defense with a new DC.
