There are two other current coaches \u2014 Bill Belichick and Andy Reid \u2014 who are certain to join them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some started winning as soon as they put whistles around their necks: George Halas went 10-1-2 as a 25-year-old rookie coach in 1920. Paul Brown was 12-2 with the 1946 Browns in the old AAFC. John Madden was 32 when he took over the Raiders in 1969, and he promptly went 12-1-1 with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Twelve had losing records in their first year. And not just so-so under-.500 records, either, but the kind of lopsided losing marks that take years to overcome in a league in which they used to play as few as 12 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s in a year and still play just 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t to say Jets head coach Robert Saleh \u2014 4-13 in his first season \u2014 is bound for a bust at Canton. If you take a look at the vast expanse of NFL history, and the men who have coached the various franchises since 1920, there is something that stands out significantly:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There have been far more bad coaches than good coaches. There have been way, way more forgettable coaches than immortal ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But even some the very best had to scuffle. Almost all had perfectly good reasons for being so bad: expansion teams, or teams with expansion-level talent. Not every coach is George Seifert, gifted a Super Bowl-caliber team by Bill Walsh; or Matt LaFleur, Aaron Rodgers lottery-ticket holder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are the first-time Hall of Famers (or future Hall of Famers) with the very worst debuts. Maybe some of these names can give Saleh solace. You really never know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Tom_Landry_1960_Dallas_Cowboys_0-11-1_000\"><\/span>12.
