“ young coordinators with short but impressive track records is the way to go” - this, especially with an old proven head coach

Posted on September 26, 2026 at 10:27:23 AM by plug (edited September 26, 2026 at 10:28:39 AM)

Young coordinators can help keep an old HC fresh. They bring energy and ideas that old dudes need. Conversely, the old steady hand is there as a safety net when young coach struggles. You hear reports of the HC being more involved in offensive game planning, offensive design, adding new wrinkles, and sometimes even taking over play calling duties (almost always a terrible sign). It’s a good gamble for a guy like Whitt, whereas young HCs like Sherrone (ignoring the implosion) tend to need more established coordinators.
