Excluding Zac and Kyle Shanahan, who are both still active, and Dick Vermeil, who retired after his 3rd season with Rams ---

- Since 1990, 30 head coaches have started with 6 wins or less in each of their first 2 full years.
- 11 of those coaches were fired / not retained after their 2nd season.
- Of the 19 brought back for a 3rd season - 3 were fired during the year and 6 more fired at end of year.
- That's a total of 20 (out of 30) that didn't get any farther than a 3rd season.
- Of the 10 that survived a 3rd year (5 had winning seasons) - only 1 ever had another winning season with that team.
- Those 30 coaches combined for a grand total of 7 seasons with a winning record in 94 opportunities.
