Oldest Coach to win a SB?

[Hostile]

Uh...Dan Reeves...

SB winning player and coach? Reeves won as a assistant coach and player.

dungy?

Reeves did not win as a Head Coach.

Dungy has never won a Super Bowl.

 

[Hostile]

Oh, its Tom Flores, whoops

Bingo.

Following college, Dungy entered the National Football League as a free agent playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played as a backup safety during Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain dynasty. In the Steelers Super Bowl winning season of 1978, he was promoted to starter and led the team with 6 interceptions.

I forgot chuckie won with his tampa bay team

 

[burmafrd]

what team did he win the ring with as regards playing. I thought about him, but I kept thinking he was with the raiders and they only won the game about 4 years before he did.

 

[burmafrd]

the criteria was HEAD coach, right?

As a player he did., well the refs helped.

It kind of makes you think. Vermeil was up there, but was he as old as BP?
Trying to think of any other 60 year old coaches that have won it all. Maybe its just that simple- BP just no longer has the energy to get it done all the way.

It doesn't make me think at all, burmafrd. If you look around the league at the older coaches I think you'll see that most of them are stubborn, set in their ways and their own philosophies and are pretty inflexible. On the other hand, the younger guys are doing anything it takes to win. They are innovative, energetic and willing to do things on a trial-and-error basis. The older guys are trying to run on first down, run on second down and throw on third down. They seem stuck in the grind-it-out-win-the-game 16-13 mode, while the young guys are trying taking the roof off the top of age old conservative defensive packages and seeing how many points they can score on the opposition. They young guys don't call off they dogs. If they get 10 sacks in the first half they try and see if they can get 10 more in the second half.

Finally, as the final indictment for this argument, since Vermeil's Rams (who were a lot more Mike Martz Rams in philosophy) no coach over 60 has sniffed Lombardi silver. I don't think that is a trend that will be changing much soon. It is simply time for guys like Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs to retire and enjoy their enshrinement in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Yeah wise guy, who's the last switch hitter to win the MVP in the American League?

I told you this one when you were here...so lets see if anyone gets it WITHOUT cheating.

Just because he is young does not mean he is good. Mora, anyone? But the point about youth probably is true as regards energy and willingness to try new things, etc.

mora is a product of mike vick.
I firmly believe that is a good coach. his dad was a good coach and I don't think he fell too far from that tree.

Do you think that we've seen the Cowboys fade down the stretch in every season since Parcells has been here, most notably, 2003, 2005, 2006 has anything to do with his age and energy level?

He doesn't play does he? The players are mentally erratic.

 

[stealth]

the players that have been here for a while openly profess they love parcell's, I loved my grandmother and just dissappointing her was enough for me to do my best. I don't think age has crap all to do with motivating a player.

Pitcher Vida Blue.

Yes, I remembered.

 

[burmafrd]

I am wondering if BP has the energy to be chewing butt, stoking egos, and all the rest that is needed to get todays prima donna's to perform.

Alright smartguy. Name me an NFL coach north of sixty-years-old that is consistently winning in the NFL since 2000.
