I didn't know Halas was only 25. I guess the media didn't go back far enough when they said McDaniels was the youngest coach ever in 2008.
Whoa, I just notice Lambeau was only 23. I don't even think his brain was fully matured by that point.

They were crushing Kingsbury today. According to a bunch of league personnel, nobody fears him. His teams peak by week 8 and never evolve. He's too lax in practice and they dont build up as season goes on. Apparently a lot of league folks feel that way. Interesting discussion.
The experienced guy came within minutes of winning a championship, but lets trust our $4 Bil franchise to the unproven guy that hasn't coached a down before in the NFL. Hell, many of them have never called a play in the NFL, but they have a better chance at success than the guy that already took a team there?
As I said before, McVay is as much of an unicorn as Mahomes was. It just doesn't happen often.
John Fox also took a team there. Unfortunately that's not good enough.
Quinn had one of the best QBs in the league and only had 2 good seasons. And blew the biggest lead in SB history when he was in it. The evidence we have is that he's not good enough. Doesn't mean he's not a solid HC, but I'm tired of finishing .500 or below.
McVay, Shanahan, the Eagles HC whose name escapes me, LaFleur, Taylor, young hot OC's doing well isn't a new thing. If you care about being proven, how proven were McDermott, Vrable, and Tomlin?
Meet in the middle, how old was Flores when he was hired, and if he's experienced now because he already was a HC, we'd still be calling him a new head coach if Miami hadn't fired him.
How do you even give Quinn credit for his SB run? His defense sucked and Kyle Shanahan made that offense. When KS left what did Quinn do?
I don’t care about the other guys. They aren’t on the list, so I’m not wasting my breath. Pederson, Daboll, and Flores were my initial preferences, but Paton isn’t interested so I am only trying to come to terms with who is likely going to be our next coach. Besides, for every success of the next young dynamo, there is a vast graveyard of failures out there.
And all reports say Hackett or Quinn will be the guys with Quinn in a slight lead. Either one, I don’t care because I know Paton has done his due diligence, and I have no choice but to trust him. But Moore is not ready from what I have seen, and neither is Mayo & some others most likely. O’Connell or Callahan? Idk, but that’s for Paton to decide.
If Paton picks someone else, fine by me, and I’ll support him until he proves otherwise. All I’m saying is that it appears that it will be either Quinn or Hackett, so I am just trying to figure out/understand how it can work, not fail, but that’s just me. Does Quinn concern me in some areas? Yes, but I also trust Paton to give him better players for his defense than Dimitroff ever did.
I read it. HP is a very smart guy. I was, however, unpersuaded. Mostly because if the offense gets the bulk of the money because it's your team's calling card, and the OC leaves and your calling card doesn't work, and your calling card as a head coach (defense) never shows up, at what point do you not get the benefit of the doubt?
At least guys like Ron Rivera and John Fox--defensive gurus who at times had strong offenses--can point to their defenses being worthy.
Another defensive coordinator. What could go wrong?
