Good column by the Couch Slouch at https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...a64_story.html

Some highlights:

'Thousands upon thousands of Pop Warner, high school and college football coaches dream of one day getting one of a handful of NFL coaching jobs that open every year. These positions — mostly assistant coaching spots — can be obtained through two time-honored avenues:"

1. Hard work and success.
2. Your last name.


"Anyway, let me provide you with a stunning statistic — nearly one-quarter of current NFL head coaches have one of their sons on staff."


Here’s the roll call of head coaches and hired heirs:


• Bill Belichick, Patriots (Steve Belichick, coaching assistant)
● Jeff Fisher, Rams (Brandon Fisher, defensive backs coach)
● Marvin Lewis, Bengals (Marcus Lewis, defensive assistant)
● Andy Reid, Chiefs (Britt Reid, assistant defensive line coach)
● Lovie Smith, Buccaneers (Mikal Smith, safeties coach)
● Mike Zimmer, Vikings (Adam Zimmer, linebackers coach)*
● Pete Carroll, Seahawks (Nate Carroll, assistant wide receivers coach; Brennan Carroll, assistant offensive line coach)**


* Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner also has his son, Scott, as quarterbacks coach.


** Of Carroll’s three children, only daughter Jaime is not on staff in Seattle.
