By way of poor talent evaluation, especially at QB, poor time management, poor organizaing, poor decision-making with respect to muddying the team's issues with his family issues, and generally poor coaching overall. I just don't see whatever you all are seeing that evidently points to better times under Mike Shanahan.

Muddying the team's issues with his family issues? Care to explain?

How about trading down in the draft for once and gaining draft picks and youth, instead of giving them away for overpriced FA's who are at the end of their careers? We have substantially cut the age of the roster. With as many problems as Cerrato left in his wake do you really expect us to turn everything around on a dime?

Was Kerrigan a mistake? No. Would Jarvis Jenkins have been a mistake if he hadn't been lost for the season? NO. Were Helu and Roster mistakes? Doesn't look like it. Your sake of pragmatism seems flawed to me.

I'm not saying he is the best coach ever, and yes he has made some bad personnel moves, ala McNabb, but for you do say "HE makes this a worse team than the one he inherited" is asinine.
