That's what I'm thinking. Actually, his wiki page says he's 68, so I figured around Joe Gibbs' age. He probably could coach a few more years if he still has it in him. I have to say, the man is a good coach, I just hate that he's never gotten a chance to take a team to a Super Bowl as a head coach. He's come close, but no cigar.

But what I do like is he knows how to consistently build a winning team. It's just the hump he has trouble with.

I just saw this on sportsnet, this amazing considering all the coaches they have been through!!!!

John Madden was the Raiders linebackers coach when Oakland hired him in 1969. He was the last head coach with a defensive background in Oakland.

If he's brought into a situation where they want him to do the grunt work, and then let the "future" young coach take over, maybe that would work. Of course, I'd probably be a bit resentful if I put all the work in building a team and then letting some other coach take my team to the Super Bowl.

Well the mind set is for him to somehow finally get over the hump. Bring the team a consistant 9-7 or better getting into the playoffs every year type of team. You can't think SB unless your atleast in the playoffs which he will atleast get you to.

That's why he remains unemployed, do you want your heart broken? Then hire him. No thanks! Too many chances with same result.
