Slow your roll. DS and Shanny have been friends since 2003. supposedly talk all the time. DS tried to hire him last off season and Shanahan said no give Zorn one more year. Mid season DS ran to Shanahan to see if he would take over and Shanahan said again no taking over mid year would not change how the team played. It's obvious he would need to install his offense instead of using someone elses. He would have failed also and fans would have been wanting his head at seasons end. Great play by Shanahan.

I would guess the whole meeting with DS is a friendship meeting to say hello and maybe get a feel for who all he would need on his coaching staff or how many, so DS has an idea of how much money he will need to spend for coach's alone.

Then the meeting with Allen is his official meeting that DS promised he would stay out of.... you know letting Allen run the team and not interfering. Don't get worked up over something we all wanted all along.
