There would be no reason to panic in December about not getting a chance to speak to potential coaches.

We are talking about Snyder right? No, DS was upset after the Detroit loss and flew to Denver to meet with Shanahan. The team denied, denied, denied, until finally some how it leaked that DS did go to Denver to meet with Shanahan. Any HC in his right mind would not want to take over a team mid season. As Shanahan said it would not change anything. He most likely would not be allowed to bring in a whole new coaching staff, most likely some of the Asst. coach's or position coach's he would want are not available right now and he would have to wait until the season ends to get them so bringing him in then would have not accomplished anything. We still would have been losing and fans might have turned on said new HC as well. No sense in ruining your popularity prior to getting your people in place to take over.

I think Shanahan wants the Skins job. I don't doubt he and DS have talked and worked out an agreement. DS waited and took his time to speak with HC's then went about it the wrong way the last time so I'm sure he's making sure his ducks are in a row this time, his new HC has time to start rolling right at season's end, and DS gets the man he wants prior to anyone else.
