The term “CEO head coach,” which is a head coach who doesn’t call plays on either side of the ball, has often been used as a backhanded slight to marginalize coaches’ accomplishments.
Or that his 65 total wins through five years are tied for third with fellow CEO head coach Don Shula — behind only George Seifert (68) and Tony Dungy (67).
He comes across as more of a hype man than a head coach.
John Harbaugh, who was the most sought-after coach in this cycle before the Giants hired him, is also a CEO head coach.
The fact is, most NFL and college head coaches — from Bill Belichick to Nick Saban — are CEO head coaches.
