ShareThisAdded: 2011 Pages, Historical Coordinator Data
As you may have noticed this week, we now have 2011 team pages on the site. Right now these have the team's 2011 schedule & draftees, but they will be populated with 2011 stats when the regular season begins.
Mike also added the 2011 Draft page, and has made it possible to sponsor drafted players right now -- so get your Cam Newton sponsorship while it's hot.
Last but not least, we now have complete team coordinator info going back to the early 1970s. In addition to being awesome in and of itself, this data also allows us to list a coach's "coaching tree" -- coaches that he worked under as an assistant a coordinator or were his subordinates as a head coach. (Thanks to Scott Kacsmar, who helped us enter this data.)

Very cool job on the "coaching tree". I had started to build coaching trees a few years ago but never got very far. (Al Groh's coaching tree includes Dan Henning, Todd Haley, Mike Nolan and Ken Whisenhunt!)
I'm disappointed that it looks like you've pulled the "Career AV" and "Weighted AV" off the top of a player's page: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MariDa00.htm
Are you ever going o re-run the 2010 AV to fix the problems (e.g. Rolando McClain having a 0 AV)?
Yeah, where's the career AV and weighted AV? That was a great summarizing tool when looking at player's careers. I'd be happy to see it come back soon
Love the idea of adding coordinator information - It is incomplete though. Bill Walsh's stint with the Bengals is ignored so he is missing from Paul Brown's, Ernie Zampese & Al Saunders are missing from Don Coryell's which means that a number of links (e.g. Coryell>Zampese>Turner) are missing.
The other issues with coaching tree linkages are the college ones (Madden worked for Coryell) and the more indirect but very important ones e.g. the Aztecs coach in the late '60s spent a lot of time talking & working with the Charger's head coach which gives Gillman>Coryell which Coryell was happy to acknowledge - don't expect you to put that in any time soon
Career/weighted AV should be back now. We also need to re-add AV to the draft pages.
Also, I'll add those coaching stints to the DB.
So I looked into Walsh, Zampese, etc. -- the problem is that they weren't coordinators at the time. I'll amend the original post to make that clearer.
