garvin has done a good job pointing out the flaws in each. I'll just note that I didn't make those up. They were summaries of the comments that have surfaced over Shaw's two seasons. Valid or not, they're a fair summary the dominant views of Shaw turning up in media and fan comments.Â
As for NFL interest, the NFL has the appetite of an elephant for the next big thing, the next savior. And it has the loyalty of a street drug lord. Sure the NFL is making noises. While they're planning where to dump the body of their present coach they're floating names of the guys they think can save them from themselves. Their willingness to try the "next great coach" shouldn't be confused with wisdom.
