Coaching style is an enormous influence on a player's fantasy production. Basically, if a coach likes passing the ball, then his QB will have better numbers. The reverse is also true. And it is true at every position. Sure, this is common sense. But how can you tell which coach really has success in certain areas? You are in the right place.

Below you will see each team's Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator (if the team has one), and Defensive Coordinator. You'll also see the statistics that each coach has accumulated in the last five seasons as either a HC, OC, or DC. Note that a HC will be credited with both the offensive and defensive stats his team accumulated while a OC and a DC will only be credited with the stats from their respective side of the ball.

To the right of each coach's name, you'll find his average stats (if any) from the last five seasons.

You'll also see that each franchise has a 'Team Average'. This was found by averaging the HC stats with OC stats (to find the offensive team averages) and the HC stats with the DC stats (to find the defensive team averages). Note that a coach with more years of stats was given greater weight in the 'Team Average'.

Finally, you'll see that each franchise has an 'NFL Average'. These are the average NFL stats from the years that correspond to each team's HC, OC, and DC experience. For example, if a team's coaches have stats from 1997 through 2001, then the 'NFL Average' comes from averaging those years. However, if a team's coaches only have stats from 2001, then the 'NFL Average' comes from that single season.

The scoring system used to determine Fantasy Points is below. Also, a key is provided below.
