Ill pass.

This again is a problem of bringing in a new head coach and then the Owner/FO telling him the DC stays.

HC needs to have a strong say in who he works with...again this is a failure of the Owner/FO. And we are left with doing the samething we should have done last year, bringing in a new DC when the season ends.

Agreed. Maybe this offseason Gruden will have more say in the matter.

I don't know which is worse - Allen and/or Snyder overruling Gruden, or Allen and/or Snyder being so smitten with Hasless that the "overruling" issue came up to begin with.

I agree the head coach needs to have a say. I also am a big believer in reading between the lines, and thinking outside the box. I try not to ever see things in a black and white - no in between, sort of way. I understand that circumstance can change things, etc etc.
However in this case, I find myself saying "hold on, this is black and white - do not hire a guy who is in charge of possibly the worst defense in the league rite now".

How do we know Allen/Snyder did this? I'm sure Gruden had a say who his coaches were going to be.

So there is a history there of the Skins pulling the same damn move just several years ago. I wouldnt be so sure, id bet against it
