He is legit. Meanwhile, the Browns have 2 win Hue, which they hired as a classic recycled head coach hire. I respect the Rams for going outside the box and it is paying off pretty damn well. It's early but the NFC looks like it will be going thru the Rams.
If I'm an owner & GM, going forward, looking to hire a HC, I'm looking for a younger guy (offensive minded) who has come up through the college ranks and has also coached at the pro level. Someone who can relate to these guys coming out of the draft, who can adapt to a QB from a college/spread system. As you mentioned, with the recycled head coach, most of these established guys are set in their ways and have the "my way or the highway" mindset versus being adaptable to the QB's skill set. Someone like Pat Schurmur would probably ruin Mayfield.
