Does anyone know if a head coach has ever been demoted within the same organization immediately following their HC stint? (alien.top)

So this is obviously a Matt Eberflus question.

He obviously not cut out to be a head coach in this league. Can’t seem to manage games and is awful at addressing the media.

However you cannot ignore how the defense has improved since he’s taken over Alan Williams duties?l.

So has this ever happened in the league? If so, would you like to see it happen or would you rather cut ties completely?

Imagine having a boss. He's a decent guy, but you can tell he's out of his element. You feel your job is constantly at risk because of his overall leadership. Whether it's his style, his approach, a combination of both, you know he's the answer.

But after 2+ years (which in my dumb hypothetical, could be considered 10 years, since 2 years is a long ass time for an NFL player), he's fired. He's replaced by another boss. But the former boss, who has been "done" for almost a year, is now your new boss' lieutenant.

Think about the chaos this would cause in the workplace. First, even if you loved your boss, having him stay is really awkward because he's no longer the boss. That's brings potential for the new boss to be hated.

Likewise, if you truly hated or at least loathed your old boss, but imagine still seeing him everyday and still having significant say in the business.
