As Tripp points out, Shanahan is probably the likely choice but not the best choice. I worry that Snyder will sign someone like a Shanahan or Holmgren etc to be able to say "See, big time coaches do want to come here." But so what? Don't bring in a big name coach just to bring in a name coach. Do your research man. Shanahan should not have control over personnel.

I agree with GTripp and SS. Shanny had full control of coaching and personnel before and often sucked, especially when it came to personnel. We don't want him wearing both hats although he might insist.

The scenario which brings in Marty Shott. as GM and Cowher as coach is more attractive to me.

That would be great. I'm a big fan of Russ Grimm. I'd love for him to take the reins.

And he could coach the Oline.
