Shannon from being the guy

I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, but at the same time, she and Hocutt handcuffed Shannon from being the guy who won championships with the Hurricanes as a player, graduate assistant and defensive coordinator. People forget that Hocutt forced offensive coordinator Mark Whipple on Shannon. Whipple was a disaster that Shannon had no control over. I know he contemplated firing Whipple during the season, but Shannon was too much of a nice guy to pull the trigger. And we all know nice guys finish last.

Hocutt and Shalala need to know they can't have it both ways. If they are serious about winning championships, then going after a guy like Jon Gruden makes sense. But they need to give him complete control. They can't tell him who to hire to run the offense and the defense. If they don't, then this program will continue to go down the tubes.
