Once again there is an influx of new head coaches in the NFL, ten to be exact. Let’s rank them from worst to best and see where we stand.
There is an endless debate about which NFL head coach is the greatest or who will start a new dynasty, similar to the Belichick run with the Patriots.
Instead, lets take a closer look at the new head coaches for the 2022 NFL season and rank them accordingly.
There are 10 new NFL head coaches for 2022, some of which have previous experience but all are experiencing the new shift in leadership and control.
Let’s get into it.
New NFL Head Coach #10- Love Smith- Houston Texans
The Houston Texans went with an inside hire after firing David Culley after one unsuccessful season in Texas by promoting defensive coordinator Lovie Smith to head coach.
Smith is well known throughout the league, a former head coach from Chicago and Tampa Bay, and many members of his former staff found success within the league.
Smith has some success in his past, making a Super Bowl appearance with the Bears.
Smith knows he has little to work with as he was already with the Texans under Culley so he accepted this assignment knowing the future is bleak.
While the Texans scored drafting cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., there isn’t a whole lot of talent spread across the roster.
Davis Mills isn’t the guy and it wouldn’t shock anyone if Smith faces a similar fate as Culley when the ’22 season ends.
Not that Smith’s resume is poor but his chances for continued coaching success after this season seem poor. We wish him lots of luck but the Texans rebuild has barely laid the foundation and Smith won’t be around to put on the finishing touches when it is done.
