The absolute best professor I ever had in undergrad or grad school was in his 60s, had been teaching for decades, and was still an assistant professor. He didn't publish much, had written one book a long time ago, but god damn he was just a natural master at teaching. I took classes I wasn't interested in, just because he was teaching them. He liked to do the thing professors are supposed to do, and was punished for it. I notice that academic achievements, even in this article about the messed up priorities of university hiring, doesn't seem to include being good at educating kids.
