Edit: I may be mistaken. Was that policy passed by the owners?

That policy wasn't for the team that hired them but instead for the team that helped develop them into being hired.

I'd prefer a HC with previous HC experience, but I wouldn't complain if they hired Leftwich.

I wouldn't hate it if Leftwich was the choice.  I'd be happy that it wasn't Bevell or BOB.  Having Brady doesn't prove he's bad, but it also doesn't prove he's good.  I see him as risky.  My preference would be a safer pick.  I agree with you that I would also prefer someone with head coaching experience.

As for not having a good quarterback, I would point out that Pederson won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles as his quarterback.  Nathaniel Hackett went to the AFC Championship Game with Blake Bortles as his quarterback.  I think both of those feats are more impressive than winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady.  Why should Leftwich jump over them?  I think many people are being influenced by name recognition and nostalgia.  Only hire Leftwich if he's the best for the job.  Previously playing here shouldn't factor into the equation.

I'm not personally wanting Hackett, but I'm also being a little whiny about the playcalling in the second half of the AFCG.

But Pederson may not actually want to coach under Baalke and it seems like we are keeping him.
