You don't hire the CEO of a company out of the mailroom. There is a reason people need to build experience...to ignore it is not wise.

Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Jack Del Rio were not OC's or DC's before getting their chance at being the HC. They all do have one thing in common though. They were all players first.

Wasn't Tomlin DC in Minn before becoming Steelers HC?

He was. Mike Tice was a line coach though

Not to pee in your cheerios angry but:
Cowher was defensive coodinator of the chiefs 89-91.
Tomlin was defensive coodinator of the vikes in 06.
Del Rio was defensive coodinator of the panthers 01-02.

I appologize for the misinformation. I was regergatating what I heard on NFL Total Access around the same time frame that I made that post. I should have referenced it deeper instead of taking the analysts words for it. My original point is null and void.

LOL. So very true. j/k

It's no big deal, no matter what any of us think, Zorn is still the leader here, we all need to get on board, or get off. For as much as I think this was a poor decision to move him to HC, I am very much hoping he will prove me wrong. Not that it matters, but I will give him the same respect and opportunity I gave all HC's we've had in recent years (Gibbs / Schottenheimer / Spurrier / Turner etc). Maybe he does have what it takes? I don't know him, or his philosophy, so he could be successful at some point.

I am on board, but I will not be blinded with enamor. Inexperience is still inexperience, but the fact that he played is a positive with me.
