Quote:What do the three outfits have in common? Stability.

New England's Bill Belichick and Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis are the two longest-tenured coaches in the league, combining for 29 years with their respective franchises. Carolina's Ron Rivera became the first coach to win back-to-back NFC South titles, rewarding the Panthers organization for sticking with him until he experienced a rare coaching epiphany early in the 2013 season.

Last-place clubs such as the Browns, Titans, Lions and Dolphins have cycled through coaches and general managers every few seasons, which in turn leads to quarterback uncertainty and players ill-suited for changing offensive and defensive schemes.

The Patriots, Bengals and Panthers have established strong identities, on the other hand, elusive feats in a copy-cat league where trends shift with the prevailing winds.
