Great question. I dont know either. Its like asking how many people's second marriages are better than their first. For those that dont learn its worse. For those that learn its better.
I know plenty of coaches (not in the NFL) who have gone through ups and downs in their coaching careers and I have never known one to say that they are worse off for it - including the coach I worked with last fall that set the record for the most wins in the NCAA. I think its just one of those things in life. We all fail at times. Thats not the issue. Its how we get back up and move on that is important. Coach... player... marriage... work... family problem... learning to ride a bike...  I'll take the experience and wisdom over a rookie learning on the job. |
And I'll take the better candidate, who is usually not the guy who failed in his first stop. |
like Shurmur... |
like mike tomlin, like mike mccarthy, like mike smith, like gary kubiak, like jim harbaugh, like lovie smith
and hell if Shurmur gets more than 2 years, then yeah, maybe Shurmur |
tomlin had a great team to work with (HoF QB)
Mccarthy had a great team to work with (Hof QB)
Mike Smith had great potential players to work with (#1 overall QB, AP RB, Stud WR)
Gary Kubiak built that team up (AP WR Stud DE)
jim harbaugh had some good talent to work with (AP LB AP RB ROY LB)
Lovie Smith had a decent defense to work with (Hof LB)
Shurmur got no offseason to work with his team his first year. a horrible QB, a pansy of a RB, no talent at WR, and a extremely young defense
the coaches you named fell into very good situations |

Mike Tomlin had 7 years NFL coaching experience and came into a great team with a very experienced staff and a very experienced team.
Mike McCarthy had been coaching the NFL since 93!!! and its the Green Bay Packers for Gods sake!!! Talk about stable environment.
Mike Smith had 8 years coaching the NFL, and 16 years coaching in college... I wouldnt call him a rookie
gary kubiak played in the NFL for 8 years, and coached in the NFL 11-12 years before he got HC position.
jim harbaugh played int he NFL for 14 years? was a college Head Coach TWICE
lovie smith started coaching in 1980.
Im not sure your point, but these guys had pretty good resumes...
I NEVER said only candidates with previous NFL HC experience should be conisdered, but rather that candidates with previous HC experience should be considered favorably for their experience given this extremely young team and unstable organization. |

Everyone save Jim, when they were hired- everyone said
who?
also, Pat had a pretty good resume, seeing as how he's been a coach for 22 years, 14 years in the NFL, 12 years prior to being a HC.
Also, Mccarthy's record before going to an UNSTABLE packers was pretty bad, seeing as how he was the OC of one of the worst offenses in SF.
Sean Payton was a who? hiring as well.
Rookie head coaches doin good.

Belichick, Dungy, Shanahan, Coughlin. They weren't necessarily terrible, but they were successful retreads. For every Tomlin and Harbaugh you have a Raheem Morris or Josh McDaniels. |

Not to nit pick, but Coughlin was far from being unsuccessful in his stint in Jacksonville, at least in my opinion. Dungy certainly was successful in TB unless the only measure of success is whether or not you won a super bowl, and if that is the measuring stick, there are only so many coaches that can even be talked about, therefore this whole topic is pretty stupid.

What about Brad Seely?
He was with the Browns during the Mangini era...when the Browns had very good special teams. He is the assistant HC and special teams coach with the 49er's. He is very intelligent and would be a first time HC. |

No thanks.
The guy didn't really commit to what amounts to a part time job as 'President', I certainly don't want him to be accountable for a job that requires 80hrs + per week.
I'll take a guy who's still hungry and wants to work and coach.

For what its' worth (not much), my opinion about a HC selection has not changed:
http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=6002819#6002819
| Quote: | In future/current head coaches I look for 5 things (which play into my list from the "What do you want in the next head coach" discussion).
1. Leadership: Are they able to lead men.
2. Defensive Progression/Quarterback Development: For D-minded guys I want to see steady improvement in the statistical and fundamental success of a defense especially in play design and specifically for the 3-4, Linebacker development. For O-minded guys I want to see a QB who has developed.
3. "Coolness": When things go wild, how cool does he stay?
4. Communication Skills
5. The "It" Factor: This is my eye ball check, does he look like a head coach to me. |
And for what its worth (again, not much) I believe that Shurmur has at least 2 of those (Coolness, and QB development) but the first and last have not been proven and the 4th doesn't look so hot.
