That's exactly what I mean. I don't look at head coaches as offensive or defensive. Yes, they transition, often, from coordinating either side, but my belief is that when they put on the hat as head coach, they take on a whole different aspect of responsibility. Sure, you'll see offensive guys still calling plays, but there's a heck of a lot more involved as head coach.

And the fact that Dan Quinn has been able to coach the Falcons to a Super Bowl in his second year is impressive. He's a young guy. That's why I question why someone would say the younger coaches aren't up to task when there's a young, second year head coach coaching in the Super Bowl this year.
