It is definitely different today. How about these records of Head Coaches in their first two years: Chuck Noll 6-24 Bill Walsh 8-24 Tom Landry 4-20-2 That’s 9 Super Bowls that wouldn’t have been won today because they would have never made it to their third year.

@TonyDungy Context: Bill Walsh 1979-80 - 44 years ago 12 Rd. draft, 28 teams Chuck Noll 1969-70 - 54 years ago 17 Rd. draft, 26 teams Tom Landry 1960-61 - 63 years ago 20 Rd. draft, 14 teams Sentimental irrelevancy. 4 yrs. of Justin Herbert's career wasted from poor coaching & drafting.
@TonyDungy Noll inherited a 2-11-1 team. C'mon, Dungy. Do better.
@TonyDungy @WerderEdESPN I'd be surprised if the Steelers start churning through coaches considering only two have come after Noll and the seasons outlined here were 1969-70
@TonyDungy How much do you think is because of free agency that coaches cannot have the time to set their teams up long term like they could in the past?
@TonyDungy @HondoCarpenter If Dan Campbell had coached the Raiders instead of the Lions, he would have been axed in season 2. You need BOTH a good seed AND the soil to let the seed grow...
