Hiring highly experienced coaches and former great players like Anthony Lynn and Mark Brunell is a sign of security, not a threat to my job.
As a head coach, that could be a little bit like, oh, crap, man, am I hiring my replacement? Am I hiring somebody that knows more than I do about this position?

Football is the greatest sport you can possibly play
Don't ever disrespect this game because it is, in my opinion, it's the greatest sport that you can possibly play, man. ... It's a team sport, man. You, there's blood, there's sweat, there's tears. ... Everybody's gotta be going the same way to have success. ...
