He's wrong on 2 things and right on 1. Here's why:
1) Shottenheimer is a good regular season coach but is horrible in the playoffs. Period! He certainly doesn't have a better resume than Shanny. In the last decade out of coaches that are able to coach a team whether on a staff or not currenty SHanny's credentials are only trumped by Mr. Belichick. That includes Tony Dungy who has better credentials than Mr. Cowher who is after Dungy and Jon Gruden. Don Shua is in the mix and Dan Reeves but cmon, Jimmy Johnson has a better shot coming out.
2) Free Agency we are not considered to be al over it. we hear that every year and we already have about $10 million in capspace without the releases or non signing of players like Roy Williams, Anthony Henry Zach thomas, Chris Canty, Kevin Burnett, Tank Johnson, Terrel Owens etc. etc. Now I'm not saying we let these guys go and T.O I don't want to be let go but there is alot of guys that won't be back and that figures in as well. We will have cap space to go after a stud and re-sign Demarcus Ware.
3) The draft does need to be for depth but we can get a pretty good safety with our picks which we should focus on. A NT is a good consideration as well but a dead on propsect with that type of size won't be lying around at our 2nd round pick. Free agency will have a player or two to go after and won't be anywhere as dry as everyone thinks because we're going to have a cap free season the year after most likely. There will be an ILB or two other than Ray Lewis who will be out there. Unless Arizona is willing to pay Karlos Dansy, because he was franchised last year a player like that could very well be out.
4) He's right about Jerry being able to shave some money to pay a new coach somewhere else throughout the operation if necessary but Shotty is not the guy to do it for. Shanny is.
