Lane is currently better as an OC than an HC. That said, I don't think he's been as bad as an HC as some would like to paint him.

Oakland - hired at age 31 and was the youngest HC in modern NFL history. Too young for that responsibility. Not ready...and Oakland has been terrible for nearly 20 years.

Tennessee - hired at 33. Took over nightmare program that Fulmer had tanked. Had 7-6 record in only season, which was a 2 win improvement over the previous year. Two of his losses came to the #1 and #2 teams in the nation.

USC - Hired at 34. Took over program that was soon to be savaged by probation and scholarship limitations. Went 28-15 at USC.

He's 35-21 as a college HC. Never had a losing record as college HC.

Miles was 28-21 as college HC when LSU hired him. Saban was 43-26-1 when LSU hired him. Sometimes it just takes getting the right situation to prove your worth.
