I guess his relationship with Cerrato isn't enough to overcome the little voice in Shanahan's ear that tells him coaching for Snyder is career suicide. Cowher has also allegedly rebuffed Snyder several times. Dungy essentially made fun of Snyder on the air last week. So now, of the big names available in the offseason, we're left with Gruden and Holmgren. I think Holmgrens smart enough to reject any offer Snyder makes, so that leaves us with Gruden. If even Gruden won't work here, then we're left with hiring dumb 3rd or 4th tier assistant coaches and repeating the disaster we made with Zorn. When will the madness end?

I've said many, many times here that no great coach will work for Dan Snyder anytime soon, unless the huge payday lures Shanahan since he's always been such a money guy. Well it looks as if Shanahan is finally wealthy enough he won't do it for money.

I would have to be convinced that any of the coaches mentioned will make a difference here until changes are made.

Ask yourself (money aside) how many coaches, that want to keep their reputation in tact would want to come here and work for this administration under the current set of circumstances?

You're right that why i said since Snyder has such a hard-on for big name coaches he would possibly give who ever power to rebuild the team to there liking, if he wants them so bad.
