Because they couldn't (wouldn't?) get a guy who they believed was ready so they named Cerrato the guy, elevated Campbell to greater responsibilities, and brought back Mo Brown in a higher role than when he left.

even if thats the case, i dont understand why they insist on keeping Cerrato again this year... especially with all the talented HC/FO guys available. If Snyder really is planning to get rid of Cerrato, why pass up on these guys? At the very least, i certainly hope Snyder prevents Cerrato from trading away any more 2010 picks. we will need as close as we can get to a full compliment of picks to entice GM/HC candidates next year.

I don't think that Cerrato is the idiot devil everyone else seems to think, but I do think it's in the team's best interests that he be removed of any association with the football team. If for no other than perception can be reality.
