This year is now his to set a course for the Skins, and he ought to have full say in who heads the defensive side of the ball.

I also am ok with Allen staying in the role he's in. It may be not the Mercedes, but it's not a Pinto either, and too many changes confuse the issue of who is holding the keys. Lets say we bring in a B+ or A- candidate, now is he going to make the calls, if so does Gruden get another year because the A- candidate pushed a different group on him?

Get the defense coached right, bring in top notch Safeties, and RT. And draft solid OL/DL. That's what I'd like to see.

26-58 record. Allen is definitely not a Mercedes.

Again for everyone that wants change, who the hell else is going to come here.

I think anybody who wants to be able to say "I turned that franchise around" would come here. Only problem is Snyder has to want to hire that person first.

That's a a fair question. The following all would be eligible to become our GM (that is, it's a vertical move for them):

Tom Heckert, Broncos
Brian Xanders, Detroit
Chris Ballard, KC
Nick Caserio, New England
Tom Gamble, Philly

Of course there are many more possibilities. The following links talk about a number of folks:

As for "will they come here?," who knows, but we wanted Gruden, Shanahan, and Allen before and got them all.
