It's just most owners like stability and they hope with a new hire comes success and that will lead to a minimum of 10 years with the same coach. When you are already starting at 62....

He's only 3 years older than Trestman, a coach who won a position over Arians for a job Arians wanted. But I get where you're coming from. Fair point.
I completely disagree that he proved he can do it. He was a perfect coach to give the team an emotional lift. But from there, the team coasted on a ridiculously soft schedule. If we're going down the age path, I'll continue to ask how a 60 year old coach who coordinated a Super Bowl offense never got a SINGLE interview until this year. Because he's not a long-term head coach, for the same reasons Ron Rivera and Norv Turner shouldn't be.
