A head coach lasting 15-20 years is a rarity these days.  However, if I had to bet on one, DP would probably be my pick.  Khan has shown an incredible loyalty.  Gus Bradley got 4 years.  Most owners will fire coaches because of fans and ticket sales.  Khan has so much money, he doesn't care.  If he likes Pederson, he will keep him even if he has a couple of down years.  I think Khan thinks much more like a typical CEO and less like a typical NFL owner.  In the business world, if a manager is good, you keep him until retirement.  If DP is a good coach now, why would he be a bad coach 15 years from now?  Is he going to become less intelligent over time?  Is he going to get hit over the head and get brain damage?  Not likely.  A businessman sees it as logical to keep him.  I think DP is here for the long haul.
