Some NFL owners are plain brilliant.
The Seahawks and Panthers just gave unproven HCs 6 year contracts. Kraft hires a guy who never even ran his own defense. But, Mayo thinks GM Bob is a dog because of the way he rolls wearing sneakers with suits. Do people here realize that Mayo works for an 82 year old Codger?
Meanwhile, 60 year over the hill old Jim Harbaugh has won every place he has coached. The Chargers got tired of pissing away resources on young wannabes and finally nailed it. The Seahawks hired 60 year old Pete Carrol and won a Super Bowl 3 years later.

Super Bowl 58 (2023):
Eleven SBs were won by HCs in their 60s, 7 of them were won by 3 HCs. So there's only been 7 HCs in their 60s that won a SB. No SB has been won by a HC in his 70s.
HC in their 30s: 3 SBs (5%)
HC in their 40s: 26 SBs (46%)
HC in their 50s: 17 SBs (30%)
HC in their 60s: 11 SBs (19%)
HC in their 70s: 0 SBs
HCs hired in the 2022-24 cycle (# by age in '24)
HC in their 30s: 8 (6)
HC in their 40s: 6 (14)
HC in their 50s: 6 (6)
HC in their 60s: 3 (6)
HC in their 70s: 0 (0)
The trend is obvious. You're right about Harbaugh though. The LAC have the highest odds (+3000) of winning the '25 SB out of all 8 teams with new HCs. That puts them at 12th best odds.
