The Rebuilding Class of 2006

[Chiefnj2]

If I did my math correctly 9 teams brought in new coaches in the year 2006.

2005 is the record of the team they inherited.

Team......2005.....2006......2007......2008......Total
Detroit.....5-11.....3-13......7-9........0-3.......10-25
Rams.......6-10.....8-8........3-13......0-3.......11-24
KC..........10-6......9-7.......4-12.......0-3.......13-22
Texans.....2-14.....6-10......8-8........0-2.......14-20
Minn........9-7.......6-10......8-8........1-2.......15-20
NYJ.........4-12.....10-6.......4-12......1-2.......15-20
Buffalo.....5-11.....7-9........7-9........3-0.......17 – 18
NO..........3-13......10-6......7-9........1-2.......18-17
GB...........4-12.....8-8........13-3.......2-1.......23-12

Out of 9 teams only two of them are better than .500 with Buffalo one game off. Although things are horrible in KC, the Chiefs are certainly not alone in their floundering.

So, what is the difference between GB, NO and I'll include Buffalo since they are 3-0 this year, and the rest of the pack? If the Chiefs bring in a new coach how do they make sure that by the year 2011 they aren't part of the bottom of the pack again?
