Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

It appears obvious that Snyder hired them both, therefore the question will linger in the minds of many, Did he do what he's doing because he's actually changed his ways, or did he do what he had to do? I'm inclined to believe there's a little of both.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

i wouldn't mind him here as D.C but that's probably not going to happen

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

Cowher calling to ask about some of our staff seems more likely than discussing the vacant HC position. Me may be interested in Gray, Polermo, or someone else.


Also, news reports also revealed the fact that half of what was wrong between Shanahan and the Bills job was that Shanahan wanted the Bills to bring in Allen as the GM with him. Well DS got wind of that one, probably from talking with Shanahan himself, and went in and hired Allen in order to get Shanahan. We effectively hired Shanahan around week 13.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

Sounds like Allen is involved to me:

Mike Shanahan and Washington Redskins working on contract - ESPN

Quote:
Allen had interviewed Shanahan via phone Monday morning, a source close to the situation told Schefter. The Redskins and Shanahan reportedly began talks last month, a day after Allen was hired.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

OMG! I'm amazed at the turn this topic has taken, seriously wow. So does it really f'n matter if Snyder or Allen 'picked' shanahan?! Is he a great choice or isn't he? Does he have what it takes to win? Does he have a proven track record? Does he a big fat ring? I feel like some of the comments here are pissing and moaning just to be pissing and moaning. Seriously I don't get it.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

I dont care who hires him him, if we have Shanny Jr. as OC, Zimmer as DC, and hopefully Bobby April coaching Special Teams, if its Snyder or not, what is there to complain about.

Try using more commas than that!

I'm hoping that Bobby April publicly took the Bills up on their offer so that he can move to Washington. Blind hope but still hope.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

Brian Mitchell said it best. Snyder will no longer be handd on but that doesnt mean he wont be finger on. He'll always be involved.

That isnt such a bad thing.

He's the freaking owner. As other people have said it, all owners are involved in some way, shape or form. People need to just get over it.

Well I would think if you owned a Ferrari not only would you like to ride in it you'd like to drive it once and a while. So long as he's not making dumb mistakes (which is what I hope Allen and Shanahan are there for) then I'm good with him making suggestions about some players.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

I just have a gut feeling Snyder isnt all that interested in making the decisions anymore and he feels he has a guy in Allen who he can trust to handle things. Like stated above though you cant expect him to be completely hands off.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

How do we know that Allen didn't say HE wanted Shanahan and that that was contingent upon him taking the GM job? See...it's all speculation. I've read a lot of folks saying that the organization should have "pursued other options" but aren't really specific about what those options are. Plus...MS isn't even the coach...yet.

Put on your shit kickers when you go to ES, cause you'll have to wade through a bunch of it to find anything worthwhile.

Re: Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

Not sure where to put it but Charlie Weis has agreed to be KC's OC.

Weis agrees to become Chiefs' offensive coordinator under Haley
