Longstanding trend? McCarthy broke the trend in 2007? Sean Payton did it in 2006. Mike Tice did it in 2004. Jim Mora, Jr. did it in 2004. John Fox did it in 2003. Mike Sherman did it in 2001. Gruden did it in 2000. Billick did it in 2000. Fisher did it in 1999. John Harbaugh did it in 2008. Jim Caldwell did it in 2009. I don't feel like looking up other coaches.
