"He's still wet behind the ears".
When I heard this old saying as I was growing up it meant that someone was too young and didn't have enough of life's experiences to be selected for a position or be in charge.
All babies are born wet and have to be dried off. This expression was used to indicate a view that a person was way too young for managing others because of inexperience in life with knowing the job.
