i was talking about 4 head coaches signed up in 3 years. has any other coach been poached so much in such a short time?
.
Quite possibly... and from the chain I pointed out.
I'm pretty sure Mike Shanahan lost at least 3 in 2 years just before he left the Broncos (2 of them were to colleges, but they were his staff on the offensive side of the ball going to HC roles), Kubiak being one.
Bill Walsh may have had a similar thing happen twice, probably at least once (can't be f**ked going through the years): Sam Wyche/Dennis Green/Mike White left about the same time, then about a decade later Holmgren/Rhodes left around the same time.. can't remember but it feels like there might be someone else around that time.
Brown's tree (f**king forest, more like) could have produced similar but the only ones I know offhand were either years apart (Noll, Walsh) or left the Browns for HC roles when he got fired. Different time, I guess.
Worth noting though that all those guys had won titles *before* their guys got poached like that. So that's different.
