And I know what you're thinking, if he's going to be patient with Cerrato why not Zorn? I don't know the answer. I do still suspect though that he (Cerrato) sooner than later won't have quite the input he does now. Again, unless someone like Jerry Gray becomes our full time head coach...and that would be a stunner.

An unsettling statement to be sure! Cerrato's presence means Snyder continues to have a heavy hand in personnel, and if Vinny loses sway within the franchise then won't Snyder just dominate personnel decisions completely? I guess w/ Gruden's hands off approach to personnel it means Snyder would be free to do things his own way completely.
