It should be noted that the quotes Paintrain posted didn't all come from the same person. These are three different sources talking.

It was kind of a throw away line, but they seemed to (unless I read it wrong) mention that the Bruce Allen is consulting the team ("Fueling Gruden's potential future involvement with the team is the consulting work currently being done by former Buccaneers GM Bruce Allen, who teamed up with Gruden in Tampa Bay"). I know Allen and Snyder talk often, but I never actually thought of him as necessarily consulting. But I guess he is.

If Snyder doesn't get Shanahan, Allen seems like the most seamless transition for Snyder.

This line says it all though:

"I think a lot of people in the league would like to work for Dan Snyder. He is a great owner. But as long as Vinny (Cerrato) is there, (Cerrato) is going to smear any threat to himself."
