The 2005 New Orleans Saints finished 3-13 which led to the firing of their head coach, Jim Haslett. Sean Payton was hired as their head coach after spending three seasons as the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants during which the Giants ranked 15th, 21st and 22nd in points scored. This was more a function of the head coach and his philosophy than it was a function of their OC, but I was surprised at how poorly Payton’s offenses fared BEFORE he was hired as a head coach.
Jim Fassel was about as conservative of a head as you could get in terms of his decisions.
