A big part of me agrees, except potential candidates will know that going in and they'll have the opportunity to discuss their autonomy over such decisions.

If Dan is really set on Tomlin, and just for the sake of argument let's say he goes down that road, Tomlin would undoubtedly say I want full control over all football ops including QB and I want it in writing. Dan then decides if he wants to commit that to paper.

Of course I come back to you being right because Shanahan had some language like this and Dan still found a way to inject himself.

And that's why ultimately we're always be fucked with Snyder. He always finds a way to fuck things up.
