Younger coaches making their mark in NFL

Younger coaches making their mark in NFL

When Mike Tomlin scans the opposing sideline Monday night in Denver, the Steelers coach essentially will be looking at a younger version of himself in rookie Broncos coach Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels, 33, is trying to follow in the footsteps of Tomlin, 37, the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl.

Two years ago, Tomlin was the new kid on the NFL block, the youngest coach in the league and commander of one of the league’s most decorated franchises. But when Tomlin led the Steelers to the championship win over Arizona last year, it led NFL owners to entrust their franchises to other young, untested coaches.
