Marvin Lewis has cookouts at his house because he is nice

Dave Shula actually seems like a really good dude.  He was thrown into a position that he had no business being in, with no help whatsoever. 

You give a young ST coordinator a terrible roster, with zero control and the world's worst GM, bottom of the barrel resources and you don't even him allow to assemble his own staff, bad things are going to happen.

Maybe it's just time that's soften my stance but I feel like this guy gets way too much blame and is unfairly the butt of too many jokes.  Bruce Coslet, who was proven and terrific offensive mind, and Dick Lebeau, who is one of the greatest defensive minds the game has ever seen, faired no better.  And at least they were gifted a few guys like Cory Dillon and Carl Pickens.  Dave Shula had even less to work with.

Leave Davey and his steakhouses alone!!!!
