I have similar thoughts. I think of Dave Shula not so much as being a bad coach, but as a guy who never had a chance because Mike Brown was his GM and Mikey was making the call on draft picks. Jerry Jones of the Drugstore List never got over the fact that the Bengals passed on Troy Vincent to take David Klingler. It was reported that the coaching staff was "stunned" when Mike Brown announced they were picking Klingler.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
