I'm guessing it doesn't count like in baseball if you get called up for 20 games...you can still be a rookie next year.

I tell you what would be a nice stat, that probably doesn't exist: The rank before for a teams defense then the next year AFTER they changed DC's.

Now other factors could contribute like personnel changes, etc. It would be interesting to see just how much of a difference coordinators make.

I think some of the bounce teams get by firing guys during the year is the fact that the new coordinator's calls aren't on tape and are unpredictable to the opposition.
