I agree with this - and I admit bias having watched PC get owned by Shanny and McV in recent history (I know Pete has a winning record vs Shanny long run). I am not saying a young hire has to have been a coordinator and I don't care if they were the equipment manager if they can win.
With the exception of Andy Reid and probably a couple examples I can't think of off the top it really seems like the winning formula is to go with a young smart coordinator vice an experienced HC who ultimately failed somewhere else.
If you coach Ohio State and you can't beat Michigan, you're out
If you coach Navy and you can't beat Army, you're out.
(And vise versa)
Pete can't beat the Rams.
I agree with this. The picks got the Ravens some easy points which put 9ers into a hole and they couldn't lean on McCaffrey who did show he could run on the Ravens. Hard to imagine Purdy has another game like that this year. If they match up again in the Superbowl I think the 9ers win.
Both...
