Also, the long hours that these guys work aren't really work in the conventional sense. This job isn't exactly rocket science, it's just thinking about ways to improve the team and its performance. I'm not necessarily sold on Crennel, but his age isn't a real compelling argument against.
I agree. And maybe I am wrong but I always thought the coordinators put in longer hours than the head coach.

Makes sense. I think he ends up being the guy with McDaniels as the OC.

I honestly have no opinion about the HC until Cassel is gone. If he's here, I don't care who we get at HC. It's an epic failure.

I'm surprised you just kept saying "he's old, he's old, he's old" without throwing out a logical argument. That's a logical argument. I don't think its a legal argument but I understand THAT concern.

I agree. He's just pulling shit out of his ass. I would LOVE for somebody to do some research and break down overall records of coaches based on ages, categorizing them by 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, and so on. How interesting would that be?

And MAYBE if it came out that guys in the 60-70 range have bad records he could use that as an argument. But at this point he's baseless.

No. My argument also takes into consideration that:

1. Interim head coaches don't go on to win SBs.

2. I don't believe Romeo is going to go get a QB.

3. His age guarantees he will be gone in a few years.

24 of 27 Super Bowl winners were under the age of 60.

Baseless?

Hardly.

1. Jeff Fisher sure didn't.

2. Romeo isn't going to decide whether the Chiefs go get a QB. Neither would Jeff Fisher.

3. Poor performance will get a younger guy fired just as quickly.

So basically, he's too old, and you've never seen an interim HC win a SB.

Yep, that settles it.

Most NFL coaches have been under the age of 60. AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE? OR IS IT MORE?

That's it.

Clearly we should follow this developing trend.
Your argument makes just as much sense as somebody demanding we run out and hire a 35 year old head coach simply because the Steelers won a ring when they did it.

Like I've said. That doesn't take into account how many coaches during those seasons were in the 60+ range. There were more coaches in the 40-59 range than 60+ range, therefore, that number is skewed. NARROW MINDED ****.

You're bad, just very bad at analysis. Ask rainman to tell you why your 24 of 27 is bad data.

Terrible comparison. I'm examining 50 years of NFL history and the current state of head coaching in the NFL.

Someone making your argument is examining one team and one head coach.

Jack McKeon coached the Marlins in his 70s, Connie Mack coached up to 87...Dick Lebeau is 72 and is still coaching...Romeo can do it... There is hope.

Will Romeo have us playing small ball or swinging for the fences?
