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.

Let me clarify.. I agree about what happened after the Detroit game and possibly even the KC games. My point was specific to in recent weeks. I can't see where it would be a benefit for Snyder to be making calls and inroads with people right now rather than waiting until the season is over.

Shanny and Snyder probably have talked in hypotheticals about contract and organizational parameters. I think if it's Shanny, it happens within 3 days (interview Blache and/or Gray for Rooney) of the season ending. The only delay could be if Dallas makes the playoffs and Shanny waits to see if Phillips is fired when they lose.
