Then in 2008, Fassel wanted Zorn and Rex Ryan as his coordinators. We couldn't get Ryan but we did get Zorn for Fassel. But then Snyder caved to the whole "let a football guy run the team" mentality (I guess that was the real fan revolt) and let Cerrato-who, like it or not, has plenty of football experience-run Fassel out of town (before he even got here).

Thats the truth about Cerrato. We dont like him, but the fact is he had plenty of experience and was well qualified to run the football team. Damn, thinking back, i guess Vinny's biggest problem was that he knew the right moves to make for the good of the football team, but he had nobody 'over him" per say, to tell him, hey vinny, maybe we shouldnt spend this much on a guy. Snyder was not a football guy and i guess the true problem was giving Vinny total control.
But as others stated, Vinny should own up to making the mistake of hiring Zorn, when Cerrato, truly being a football guy, knew that Zorn was not cut out for the job.
I looked at Cerrato's work history, and the truth is the man really was involved in good stuff and seemed to do his job well. When he arrived here, his good work ran out.
Could Dan Synder just be the end all to why people are never successful here in ANY capacity???
