Does it bother me that a woman was hired? Absolutely not. I am a strong proponent of hiring the most qualified person for whatever the job may be, football and beyond. I am also not denying that she is obviously incredibly smart, and loves football, that much is very evident. My questioning of the hiring has more to do with how is this person going to make our linebacker corps better at playing linebacker than they were last year? All of the other interns either have a track record of previous coaching at a high level, or playing at the highest level possible. With Dr. Welter, yes, she played semi-pro football for 14 years, but to compare the Xs and Os of the Dallas Diamonds and the Arizona Cardinals, is no comparison. That's not to say that someone can't learn how to break down NFL offenses, but to teach professionals how to be better when there is no track record of showing that in the past, makes me skeptical.
At the end of the day, this is the most excited I have been about a season as I can ever remember. I trust in BA, Keim, Michael Bidwill, et al in continuing to do whatever it takes to make the team better. I guess I'm just a pessimist at heart, but that comes from more years of watching the team crash and burn, than joyous years. I hope it all works out for the best.
As far as my low post count. I obviously signed up years ago. Forgot my login name, and had initially tied it to a college email account which got deactivated. Took a guess at it semi-recently and was able to log-in, but have pretty much only lurked for Cardinal information over the years.
