Since it's looking more and more like Gase might be the guy, instead of a vet HC like Shanahan or Hue Jackson, let's compare him to Campbell who is similarly green. Here are the qualities I feel are crucial for a head coach:
Leadership
Management Skills
People Skills
Football Strategy (X's and O's)
Staff Building
Teaching
Who do you believe possesses more of these qualities?
Interestingly, I think it's almost split. If you could combine the two you would have a very strong candidate.
I think Campbell wins over Gase on:
Leadership
Management Skills
People Skills
While Gase wins over Campbell on:
Football Strategy (X's and O's)
Staff Building
Teaching
The tie breaker would be experience. Interestingly, Campbell who has never been an OC actually has more experience when it comes to being an HC. He has already gone through the gauntlet once and now knows what to expect. Gase still doesn't know what he doesn't know.
The other thing that Campbell has going for him over Gase is that he played football for several years on the NFL level, while Gase notoriously never played football at college or NFL level. That kind of thing can make a difference in the locker room as we saw from how the players initially reacted to Campbell over Philbin.
Considering all the players actively rooting for Campbell to win the job, Gase's lack of football experience could hurt him initially in the locker room. It will be much more difficult for him to win over the players (still loyal to Campbell) than it would be for a vet coach like Shanahan who has Super Bowl rings on his fingers.
If Gase gets the job he will have his work cut out for him. I hope he is ready.
