all this talk about experience and all.. to me is not that important, there is a lot of teams that had won Super Bowls without experience...
all we need is a chemistry and a understanding between GM and HC and off course that the GM knows how to pick players that fit the scheme and a bad ass HC who know what the hell he is doing...
I think we are going to have that with Balkee and Harbaugh and I am really exited about all this moving forward, escpecially with a Young , Creative, West Coast Offfence HC....

How far back do you want me to go?
I am hard-pressed to even name ONE SB winner that has inexperienced men across all three of those key positions.
Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson with the Cowboys in the early 90s? At least Jerry was a highly successful businessman before he bought the Cowboys and became his own GM. Jimmy Johnson? He at least had a record of sutained success over multiple years in the college coaching ranks.
Joe Gibbs and Jack Kent Cooke with the Skins? Tons of experience.
The NY Giants with Parcells and the Maras again in the 80s. No inexperience there.
Bill Walsh and John McVay? Both had plenty of NFL experience before they joined together in their relatively new positions for the 81 SB run.
The great Steeler teams of the 70s, the Rooneys and Chuck Noll. Yup!
Dallas - Tex Schramm, Tom Landry - yup!
