Just wondering why you feel that unless we hire a young guy then things are doomed.

I think the theory is that going out and hiring a coach who has nothing to prove versus hiring someone who is hungry and is eager to prove himself can make a big difference. When Gibbs was first hired by Beathard/JKC, he was the latter.

Problem is, Snyder doesn't have the patience for young guys. He's always preferred the people who have previously given good results.
