I don’t have it handy but someone did an analysis this off season on OC/DC experience and how much it relates to success as a HC.
Basically, there’s no correlation. The skills that make a good head coach are largely separate from those that make a great coordinator.
Fans and the media will hype up hot shot coordinators, and teams will interview them, but at the end of the day a lot of these open positions are going to get filled instead by guys with prior HC experience that are seen as a much safer bet.
