Allen might ask McLoughan what he thinks but I am pretty sure Allen retains the decision making on the head coach.

I asked a few people this, and they all told me Scot's decision

Ok thanks good to know. I remember Allen saying total control over player personnel and never really saying anything about coaches, so I was left to wonder. Nice to know from someone in the know, thanks Smoot.

Glad Smoot answered this as well, but I specifically remember one press conference earlier this year when that specific question was asked. Needless to say he was very vague about "personnel" as it relates to coaches/staff. He was pretty much putting it out there that HE was the one in charge of that decision. I remember being livid because I was thinking "exactly what has changed", and thought at the time it was going to be a cluster fuck with one guy (BA) in charge of coaching decisions and one guy (SM) in charge of player personnel.
