With Zac Taylor being pegged as the next head coach, I wanted to look at other very young coaches who have been hired and what they were able to accomplish.
In the Super Bowl era, 14 head coaches have been hired between the ages of 30-35. Here is the list, with the number of years with their first team (if more than one) and their records, including playoffs:
John Madden 10 years 103-32-7 9-7 PO record 1 Super Bowl title
Bill Cowher 15 years 149-90-1 12-9 PO record 1 Super Bowl title
Mike Tomlin 12 years 126-66-1 8-7 PO record 1 Super Bowl title
Joe Schmidt 6 years 43-34-7 0-1 PO record
Jon Gruden 4 years 38-26 2-2 PO record
Sean McVay 2017-present 24-8 1-1 PO record
Dick Nolan 8 years 54-62-5 2-3 PO record
Eric Mangini 3 years 23-25 0-1 PO record
Joe Collier 2 years & 2 games 13-16-1 0-1 PO record
Mike Shanahan 1 1/2 years 8-12
Raheem Morris 3 years 17-31
Josh McDaniels 2 years 11-17
Lane Kiffin 2 years 5-15
Dave Shula 4 1/2 years 19-52
