I don't even think it is about that. I think it is about "institutional control". In other words, a lack of accountability. I'm not tech savvy enough, to list all the 70+ year old coordinator level coaches in this league's history. But if I could, I'm guessing that I would see quite many unsuccessful teams over that span. This year as a matter of fact, Lebeau and Monte Kiffin, were the heads of two of the most disappointing defenses in the league. To be honest, I can't think of many/any other 70-year old coordinators/head coaches. But if I could, I'm confident in my generalization. (The only guy close who comes to mind is Tom Moore, when he was with the Colts. Of course, Peyton had as much an impact on the playcalling as Moore did at the time.)
