Out of the options, they all had warts.

Leftwich has been successful, but part of that success is associated with the GOAT (but then hey, samesies for McDaniels, right?) and no HC experience.
Pederson had issues at his last stop, both with the FO and his franchise QB. Speculation over whether their SB run was entirely on him or his OC.
Caldwell is fighting father time, and while he's done decently at prior jobs, has never had prolonged success for one reason or the other.
BOB, well, was BOB.

My biggest fear with inexperienced coaches are the susceptibility to be overwhelmed or intimidated by the challenge they face while learning the job. I don't get the impression that BL will be intimidated by anything, and may bond with the locker room better than the more favorable veteran coaches would or could have.

As NH3 likes to say, Time will tell!
