Look how long Jeff Fisher hung around.

Bingo. I honestly think it would make more sense to hire people that are just smart individuals who could analyze the game and deduct formations and the best plays to call in certain situations. Hiring "football guys" seems so stupid to me. I do not think it is a coincidence that Belichick is the most successful coach. He is technically a football guy, but he shits on the traditional guard and by the book plays and actually does the right plays according to factual analysis

Better yet, look at Norv Turner. His post-triplet era was 20 years of FAIL and he kept on getting job after job after job. The problem is mostly nepotism, but the refusal to hire outside the fraternity is the big picture issue.

Of course Jeff Fisher is going 8-8 every year. Half the teams he faces are run by Turners, Ryans, Schottenheimers, Shanahans, Shulas, and so on.

I mean, Pete Carroll is an elite coach. I'd be good as a coach too if I was allowed to fail four times before I did something right.
