The Docs have outlined another element to consider in your fantasy football draft preparation: Coaching changes. Coaching philosophies have a significant impact on player performance and subsequent fantasy football point totals. Pass-happy coaches are a quarterback and wide receiver's best friend, while defensive minded coaches typically favor running backs. Coordinators are important to keep track of as well. Oftentimes Head Coaches are pressured to bring in new offensive and defensive coordinators with new philosophies to keep upper management happy and put fans in the stands. To help sort through the changes and bring you up to speed, the Docs have compiled a handy list highlighting all the coaching changes of every NFC team for the upcoming 2011 season.

Key:   HC = Head Coach   |   OC = Offensive Coordinator   |   DC = Defensive Coordinator
