Mike Zimmer looks very good for 63. That one surprised me tbh.

 

[Zordon]

So Rhule is 2 years younger than Garrett was when he got the Cowboys job yet Rhule has 22 years of coaching experience while Garrett only had 6 years of experience prior to getting the job.

Good List:

I'll take the older Head Coaches with younger OC's. Mix experience with some fresh ideas.

Never underestimate experience.

Damn Jimmy is 76? Jerry doing him wrong, not putting him in the ROH by now.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Probably should also have in there for the people who unironically want Jimmy or Parcells to come back:

George Halas 72 (oldest coach in NFL history)

Your point? You are not suggesting we discriminate based on age are you?

So Rhule is 2 years younger than Garrett was when he got the Cowboys job yet Rhule has 22 years of coaching experience while Garrett only had 6 years of experience prior to getting the job.

If Rhule had been able to play in the NFL he would have begun his coaching career later as well.

This might be Jerry's last big splash. Its likely he wants it to be a big move that has a long time impact, so that would point to a younger coach.

Maybe, I take the best guy on the board though, if it so happens I get two super bowls outta of the old fart I'm good!

The current ages of the incumbent, and front runners to run an entire country is 78,77,73 and 70 in 2020 so running one stinky team shouldn’t be an issue at most any age

Wildcatter Jerry would be cooking up a hail mary for a guy like Parcells or Payton. The new consensus Jerry makes me think its an Urban Meyer type. Its going to be really interesting to watch but brutal to read this site over the next couple of weeks while it plays out.

Coach Landry was 36 when he was hired as our 1st HC.

Discriminate? They're hiring an NFL head coach, not a secretary...

There have been many references to Lincoln Riley being young at 36 years old. I thought it would be informative to post the ages of other coaches for reference.

I would take Jimmy at 76 or Belichick at 67 if either was an option...

Many are more concerned about a younger coach like Riley because of Jerry. It seems that an older HC might be better able to stand up to Jerry.

I predict that we know something by next Monday and maybe even by this Friday.

To follow that out:

One new Head Coach will build a wall between Giants Stadium and Texas, and make the Eagles pay for it.

One new Head Coach will give everyone in Texas free Sunday Ticket

One new Head Coach won't be allowed to hug the Cheerleaders

One new Head Coach will blame Billionaires for every loss.

Jerry Jones 78. In his mind the best coach for the job, lol.
