"Young up and comer" Obsession

Every time there is an opening on the coaching staff, people on here seem to get disappointed when a prospect is over the age of 30.
Everyone wants the "young up and comer".
I just don't really get it. Why would you want a young unproven coach over someone 10 or 15 years older with a proven resume and past success. Do people really think a 33 year old white guy is going to have that much more in common with most of our recruits than a 55 year old white guy? And honestly, I don't think many 5 or 4 star recruits pick their school simply b/c the seemed to click with the guy recruiting them. The majority of the time... it's not even their position coach.
Maybe it's just me, but I like a proven track record. On the field and in recruiting.
