This process didn't start yesterday... Allen and Snyder undoubtedly had a plan in place weeks ago.

Two years ago we were forced to string along the coaching search because no one wanted to work for Snyderatto. Cerratos gone now; Snyder's allegedly stepped back, and a real GM has been hired. Two years ago Bill Cowher told Snyder, No Thanks. Yesterday, he called; presumably to ask for an interview. The change in our front office structure has completely changed the "appeal" of the redskins head coching job. Shanahan doesn't have any other legitimate potential suitors right now. We have all the leverage. There's no reason to rush things. The job has only truly been vacant one day. Instead of handing the job on a silver platter to anyone, we should interview several top candidates. Shanahan may end up being the best option for us out there, but it would be foolish not to consider all our options.
