Super Bowl or Senior Citizen Bowl? Older coaches are having a moment in the NFL
New York TimesThe college all-star game played Saturday in Mobile, Ala., is called the Senior Bowl, but the game between the Chiefs and Eagles a week from Sunday in New Orleans could be called the Senior Citizen Bowl. “I really feel after we won the first Super Bowl, something changed with Andy,” says Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub, who has coached with Reid for 20 seasons. There have been no such murmurs in Philadelphia, where defensive end Nolan Smith says he is a “mastermind.” If someone is going to call Fangio, Spagnuolo or Reid old, it isn’t going to be McVay. He’s relentless in how he approaches the game, and that’s what you have to have to get the best out of your guys.” In 2024, Reid was one of six NFL head coaches over 60. Moore shares his insight in a new book with Rick Stroud entitled, “The Players’ Coach: From Bradshaw to Manning, Brady, and Beyond.” Moore enjoys crushing stereotypes about older coaches.
