A new season has prompted new leadership from several NFL franchises. There isn't anything particularly different about this year's batch of staffing changes. Coaching staffs come and go as frequently as Seattle rain, but this year's batch of rookie coaches have more to deal with than new coachs of the past.

Dallas is reconstructing their coaching staff from the bottom up, beginning with a new Quarterbacks Coach. Chris Palmer led the New England Patriots' quaterbacks team back in 1996, the same year New England advanced to the Superbowl. With the Patriots, Palmer worked with Drew Bledsoe, the Cowboys' current QB and head coach, Bill Parcels. Time will tell whether the reunion of the triple threat will have the same effect in Dallas.

This is a time for change is Texas. Just over in Houston, new head coach Gary Kurbiak is already feeling the heat. Between Kurbiak decision to pick Mario Williams over Heisman winner Reggie Bush and the resignation of Texans' General Manager Charlie Casserly, Kurbiak has a long way to take the Texans.

The Buffalo Bills has been rebuilding for the last few seasons. Might the final chip be in place with the addition of head coach Dick Jauron? Jauron is dealing with his first bout of turmoil in Buffalo with first round pick, JP Losman. Losman will be the Bills' quarterback, but he's already struggling a bit with that task.

The Motor City may be getting more motion from a new head coach. The Detriot Lions have struggled for years to find a steady, stable, ready and able quarterback, to no avail. Strong disciplinarian Rod Marinelli has signed on to lead the Lions with a roar into the 2006 season. With any luck, a quarterback isn't far behind.
