I think experience matters. Ideally, you have a leader and manager in the same person.

We witnessed McDaniels as a manager, but not leader. Gruden was both.

Pierce seems to be more of a Leader type who would need to be surrounded by high-caliber managers (OC, DC, ST coaches) and be able to define how they will be accountable and hold them to it.

Personally, I like the Leader + Manager in a single person …but it’s rare as we see.

Hope this is like the time we claimed David Amerson where he contributed right away.

What “heart” looks & sounds like.
