Like, I mean, even John Harbaugh,

as a head coaching candidate, someone who's a special teams coordinator was somewhat unheard of transitioning to the head coach spot.

Andy Reid, like you said, jumping up from QB coach into head coach.

These things are just sort of, you never know until you give somebody a shot sort of situations.

And it's a lot of just feeling people out and knowing what they have deep down inside and not necessarily what their resume is.

Their ability to learn, their passion and fire to continue learning and for the job itself.

So, yeah, an incredible hit rate.

And if you're going to be the CEO type head coach, it's going to be the it.

There's like only two pillars at that point, you know, of what it takes to be a head coach is your ability to lead and your ability to build a staff.

I mean, it's going to be like 90 percent of your job right there.

And then the other 10 percent is just going to be your game time decision making, which I don't think that he has any sort of bad reputation for, you know, in-game decision making.

When you consider an 18-year stretch of history.

Yeah, absolutely.

And as we get into these other candidates too, like I'm going to be... It's hard when you have somebody who has just a brief stint of head coaching time and you look at their hires, their roster in that short amount of time and what they've had to do.

It's very difficult to find out like...

Did they make one mistake that really doomed them, whether it be a personnel decision in the staff or a personnel decision with the roster?

And there's a lot of things to be really critical about.

But I don't think that we're going to have to worry about that with John Harbaugh.

Like you said, you have plenty of time to get things correct.

But I also think of all these guys.
