Actually very few head coaches do not have coordinator experience. When Herm was hired it was something like 29 of 32 coaches had previous coordinator experience. I don't think it's the be-all-end-all of qualifications for head-coaching candidates, but it's clearly an important step in the process of moving up the coaching ladder. If memory serves the only three head coaches who were not coordinators were Herm (FAIL), Marinelli (FAIL) and Reid (FAT).
