This was a big reason why McDaniels was my first choice as head coach. There is definitely a trend of second time HCs learning from their mistakes and going on to have great success.

There is a second part to that stat though, they have to have continued coaching inbetween those HC stints. The retreads that return to coaching after a sizeable time out of the game do not have success (I believe Vermeil is the only one out of dozens). That is what scares me about Caldwell (in addition to his age and health history). Pederson only had one year off and he was quite progressive to begin with so he would likely be fine.

I wonder why this doesn't apply to GMs?  You think it's possible Baalke learned from his mistakes too?  Honestly, the thought makes me throw up in my mouth a little, but I found myself hoping that was the case during the last off-season when Khan and Meyer decided to retain him.  Too much toxicity around him over the past few years to even make him a consideration in my eyes.  Can't believe Khan is seemingly blinded to it all.
