History

Historical Context

In 1978, the NFL introduced significant changes, including a shift to a 16-game regular season and expanded playoffs, which allowed teams to hire specialized coaches. The New York Jets, struggling with a 3-14 record, are replacing twelve coaches to revamp their strategy, echoing the Pittsburgh Steelers' successful coaching adaptations during their 1970s Super Bowl victories, which were influenced by similar structural changes.
