Seven head coaches were fired last season and seven new ones took their places in 2018. What are they learning? It’s not easy to win in the National Football League. Matt Nagy, Mike Vrabel, Jon Gruden, Frank Reich, Pat Shurmur, Matt Patricia and Steve Wilks all lost their debuts.
According to Elias, it was only the fourth time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that no team with a new head coach won its first game: 0-4 in 1974, 0-4 in 1986, 0-6 in 2001.

Week 1: Lost 33-13 to Rams
