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

Bad example here BB basically came out the womb watching game film with his father (a former coach and scout for Navy), and as a coach has definitely had retreads and given second chances to plenty of HCs and Coordinators, and has even hired his son as a and assistant DB coach


BB is no stranger to being a football guy and no stranger to nepotism

I honestly think you have no experience in hiring people and being responsible for their results. theres nothing wrong with that but if i'm hiring and paying millions a year I want a guy with experience and a guy that's had experience in several different positions and locations.

honestly, hiring a smart individual to undertake the head coaching job is an easy path to utter failure. this isn't driving a bus, the top coach has a LOT of tasks on his plate and he needs to be successful in dealing with people. many "smart" people are introverts and don't know shite about dealing with people.
