Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

As fans many of us have expressed our views to have the owner step aside but it is clear that this is business as usual at Redskin Park.

Think of it this way. While Snyder's pick is Shanahan, Allen is Shanahan's hire and not Snyder's. Allen's here to help Shanahan run the books and acquire the talent that Shanahan hand picks. Snyder will be able to disassemble his office at Redskin Park and stay out of the day to day. He will also have two guys he trusts running his franchise, and while Snyder will still have some say, ultimately the final decision will lie in Shanahan's hands, and not Allen's or Snyder's.

And for those who don't think Shanahan can get the job done, look at it this way. The message that has echoed from this board for a long time has been to get rid of Cerrato, stop Snyder's meddling and hire football guys to run the franchise. We've got 2 out of 3, and if Allen and Shanahan are successful, you might get the 3rd.
