Weiss jemand welche aktuellen NFL Headcoaches (+ Off/Def Coordinators) selbst aktiv in der NFL gespielt haben ?

Vor allem wäre interessant bei welchem Team und welche Position.

Mike Tyce hat mal bei den Vikings gespielt und Tony Dungy bei den Steelers so weit ich weiss, aber welche Positionen ?

Herm Edwards, HC Jets, hat bei den Eagles CB gespielt.

Jim Haslett, Saints, war bei den Bills Defensiv End oder so...

Haslett war Linebacker bei den Bills. Schottenheimer war ebenfalls Linebacker bei den Bills noch zu Championship-Zeiten, allerdings nie Starter.

Also insgesamt sind es neun Head Coaches die als Spieler in der NFL aktiv waren:

Bill Cowher (Pittsburgh Steelers)

A former linebacker and special teams standout, Cowher enjoyed a five-year NFL playing career with the Browns (1980-82) and the Philadelphia Eagles (1983-84). He signed with Philadelphia in 1979 as an undrafted free-agent rookie, but was the last linebacker waived in training camp after playing in three preseason games. The following year he signed with Cleveland and earned a roster spot, playing in all 16 games, including two starts at inside linebacker. Cowher sat out the 1981 campaign after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the third preseason game. Returning in 1982 as special teams captain, he started at outside linebacker in two games while playing in all nine contests. Cowher was traded to Philadelphia prior to the start of the 1983 season (Aug. 21) for a ninth-round draft pick. He was selected the Eagles most valuable special teams player that year and played in all 16 games. In 1984, a knee injury kept him out of all but four games and ended his career as a player. Cowher returned to Cleveland the following season and began his coaching career as a member of Schottenheimer’s Browns staff.

Jack Del Rio (Jacksonville Jaguars)

An 11-year NFL veteran, Del Rio was a third-round choice by the New Orleans Saints in 1985. He was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie team and earned the Saints’ Rookie of the Year award in 1985. Following two seasons in New Orleans, Del Rio played for the Kansas City Chiefs (1987-88), Dallas Cowboys (1989-91) and Minnesota Vikings (1992-95). He led the Vikings in tackles three straight years (1992-94) and played in the Pro Bowl following the 1994 season. During his career, Del Rio recorded 1,078 tackles, registered 12 quarterback sacks, made 13 interceptions and started more than 100 consecutive games between 1989 and 1994. He went to the playoffs once with the Cowboys and three times with the Vikings.

Tony Dungy (Indianapolis Colts)

Dungy signed as a free agent with the Steelers in May of 1977. He was converted from quarterback to wide receiver to safety, and when he made the team, he was the first free agent to make the Steelers’ final roster in two seasons.
Dungy played in 14 games as a rookie with the Steelers, intercepting three passes. In a game against Houston that season, with quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Mike Kruczek injured, he completed 3 of 8 passes for 43 yards and rushed three times for eight yards. In that game, he intercepted a pass and threw an interception.
In 1978, he played in all 16 games, starting twice and ranking second in the AFC with six interceptions. He helped secure a 15-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns with a last-play interception that he returned 65 yards. He played in the Steelers’ 35-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII, then the following year in training camp, was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a 1980 10th-round draft choice. He played in 15 games for the 49ers that season, then was traded to the New York Giants before the following season with RB-Mike Hogan in exchange for WR-Jimmy Robinson and DB-Ray Rhodes.

Herman Edwards (New York Jets)

As a player, Edwards played 10 seasons in the NFL, including nine with the Philadelphia Eagles (1977-85), after signing as a rookie free agent following his collegiate career. He was signed as a rookie by current Chiefs’ President and General Manager Carl Peterson, who at the time, was the Eagles' director of player personnel and went on to earn a starting cornerback position in his first preseason game as a rookie at cornerback and proceeded to start the next 135 regular season games during his stellar Eagle career. His career was highlighted by second-team All-NFC honors in 1980 and 1982 and an appearance in Super Bowl XV, a 27-10 Raiders win over the Eagles. He departed Philadelphia with 33 career interceptions, which currently ranks third in the Eagles’ record books. In addition, he recorded five postseason interceptions, and combined with his regular season interception total, his 38 interceptions stand as a team record.

Edwards gained fame for one of the most memorable plays in Meadowlands history when he recovered a fumble by NY Giants’ QB Joe Pisarcik and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown with :31 remaining in Philadelphia's 19-17 "Miracle in the Meadowlands" win on November 19, 1978.

In his final NFL season as a player, Edwards' played in four games for the Los Angeles Rams and three for the Atlanta Falcons, before announcing his retirement during the season on November 11, 1986.

Jeff Fisher (Tennessee Titans)

Originally a seventh-round draft selection of the Chicago Bears in 1981, Fisher appeared in 49 games as a defensive back and return specialist in five seasons. He earned a Super Bowl ring after Chicago's 1985 Super Bowl season, despite spending the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury that prematurely ended his playing career. During that season, Fisher began his post-playing career by assisting Ryan as an "unofficial" coach while the Bears ultimately defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. He left Chicago in 1985 holding a number of team records including: number of punt return yards for a season with 509 yards in 1981, number of punt returns in a season with 58 in 1984, and number of punt returns in one game with eight on Dec. 16, 1984, at Detroit. He also recorded the longest punt return by a Bear in 39 years with an 88-yard return for a TD on Sept. 20, 1981, against Tampa Bay.

Jim Haslett (New Orleans Saints)

After being drafted out of Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the second round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, Haslett was voted the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. He played eight seasons with the Bills - including earning All-Pro honors in 1981 - and finished his career in 1987 with the New York Jets.

Mike Mularkey (Buffalo Bills)

Originally a 1983 ninth-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers, Mularkey was waived prior to the season and was picked up by the Minnesota Vikings where he played tight end from 1983-88. He joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a Plan B free agent and played with Pittsburgh from 1989-91. Over the course of his career, Mularkey tallied 102 receptions for 1,222 yards and nine touchdowns.

Marty Schottenheimer (San Diego Chargers)

Schottenheimer began his professional football career on the playing field. After a career as an All-America linebacker at the University of Pittsburgh, he was selected in the fourth round of the 1965 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts and in the seventh round of the AFL draft by the Buffalo Bills. He signed with the Bills, playing in Buffalo from 1965-68. As a rookie, Schottenheimer got his first taste of a professional football championship when the Bills won the AFL Championship with a 23-0 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Dec. 26, 1965.

After his stint with the Bills, he joined the Boston Patriots in 1969, playing two seasons before being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1971. After spending the 1971 training camp with the Steelers, Schottenheimer was traded to the Colts, and he retired shortly thereafter.

Mike Tice (Minnesota Vikings)

During his 14 seasons in the National Football League not only did Tice catch 107 passes for 894 yards and 11 touchdowns, but he helped block for backs that rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season 5 times, including '92, when Terry Allen set a then Vikings season record with 1,201 yards, and '83, when Seattle's Curt Warner led the AFC with 1,449 yards.

The 6-foot, 8-inch Tice joined Minnesota's coaching staff in '96 after playing 3 seasons with the Vikings (1992-93, 1995), 10 years with Seattle (1981-88, 1990-91) and a season (1989) with Washington. He started in 109-of-the-177 NFL games he played. In 2002, Tice was named the TE on Seattle's all-time team by Football News.

In '95 Tice re-signed with the Vikings on December 7 after injuries depleted the team's tight end corps. He played in the final 3 games, including a start in the regular-season finale at Cincinnati (12/24), where he caught three passes for 22 yards. Tice originally retired following the '93 season. Tice started 11 games in '93, when he caught 6 passes for 39 yards. In '92, Tice caught a career-long 34-yard touchdown pass in the final regular-season game against Green Bay (12/27).

With Seattle in '91, Tice caught a career-high 4 TDs to become the first TE in Seahawks history to lead the team in scoring receptions. In '90, Tice was released by Washington on the final cut of preseason then signed by Seattle on November 28. In '89, Tice signed with the Redskins as a Plan B free agent after catching 58 passes and starting 43-of-44 games for Seattle between '86 and '88. He posted a career-high 29 receptions for 244 yards in 16 starts in '88. In only 8 starts in '84, Tice caught 3 TDs to set a Seattle season record for scoring receptions by a TE. In '83, Tice helped the Seahawks advance to the AFC Championship Game, their best finish ever. Originally signed as a free agent quarterback by Seattle in '81, Tice switched to TE his rookie year. Tice played under head coach Chuck Knox in his final 8 seasons in Seattle.

Müsste man da stutzig werden, dass nur 2 von diesen 9 HC nun NFC Teams coachen und nächstes Jahr vielleicht gar keine mehr ??

Wahrscheinlich nicht
