Right. Early 50's is as old as it goes, and you can't get much younger than 40. Not because young people suck but because you want a significant track record. Many programs need to take chances, hoping to find the next big thing in coaching, and so have to take risks on guys who have had a couple of good years at 1 school and hope they are a good coach generally. Michigan and other top programs have no need to do this; let them prove themselves at the lower levels and pluck them away. Or you can be like Notre Dame and just make a bunch of bizarre hires (a friggin' high school coach? Really?).
