Does anyone know, or know where to go to find out the average NFL Head Coaching length? I know NFL players average like what, 3.5 years or something like that? I was just curious as to what the average length of work a Head Coach gets.

NFL Coaching Length

You could always check out Deadspin.

The longest tether goes to N.F.L. coaches, who have occupied their offices for an average of 4.34 seasons. Two coaches -- Jeff Fisher of Tennessee (since 1994) and Mike Shanahan of Denver (since 1995) -- skew the average, but the median (2.88) is still higher than in the other sports.I can't run no more

While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
