New head coach for 2025 - who should they hire?

He just turned 35 years old... it seems so young with these HC hires now.  I'm not saying don't hire him... just that for an old fart like me it seems so young to be a head coach in the NFL.  

On yesterdays CHGO show Carm had an interesting tidbit where he said he had it "on good authority that Thomas Brown is here because of Ryan Poles". They went on to then discuss "did Poles want Brown, but Flus wanted Waldron?". Again, the GM's job is to give his HC what he says he needs to be successful, so Poles could have given his opinion, but at the end of the day its Flus' staff...but perhaps Poles hedged his bets by saying "Brown is going to be your pass game CO."

Having said that, it seems that Poles is high on Brown. Does that mean he'll fire Flus on Friday if we get smoked Thursday to get a look at Brown as an HC? I don't think so necessarily, because he may already believe he can handle it, but it wouldn't shock me. As I've said, the more I read about Brown, the more impressed I am with him. After hearing him talk, I get why he's been an HC candidate, interviewing for the Titans job last off season and the Texans job the year before that. The Dolphins also interviewed him for their HC job when he was with the Rams before they went with Mike McDaniels.

Thats pretty good company to be in as its not like those 3 teams went with a worse option per se. Also, all 3 of the guys hired in those jobs were also young when they got the jobs. Demecco I think was 38 when he got the Texans job, Callahan 39, and I think McDaniel was 38 or 39 when he got his HC gig. So as it stands right now...I'd be perfectly fine with Brown getting the job next year if Caleb continues to grow and improve and the offense performs. He seems to have the right attitude needed and will be demanding of the players. He'll hold them accountable, and he's shown he'll hold himself accountable.

 Poles seems to be always looking forward. Hopefully he will start to see an OL problem in the horizon.
