The Shanny hiring has the same pattern of Snyder getting the big name, the "sexy" pick, either coach or player to get the faithful to hang in there a few more seasons to get milked for every buck they are willing to give up. The Danny might have decided to add a new element to his old template and that is the hiring of the GM the Skins faithful have been pleading for for the past 10 years. Can the Shanny/Allen matchup be like Gibbs/Beathred? Sure!!!!! But it could also be a bust in the same right. The big question is, will the Danny keep his hands of personnel decisions form here on out? If yes, we might just have a winner. If not, it is just more of the same smoke and mirrors routine.
All due respect to Gibbs but let's look at the comparison in the hires and it's not even close when viewed in proper perspective. Gibbs had been away from the game for over a decade, not involved at any level but having success in NASCAR. He brought back the grumpy old coaches, most of whom had also been out of the game for a while. To top that off, he had Ceratto-'nuff said. The fact we had ANY success under him is a testament to his ability.

Now contrast this with Shanahan/Allen who have been out of the game, but still intimately involved, for a year. We're bringing in one of the top young offensive coordinators in the game. We're reportedly looking at bringing in an excellent and highly regarded defensive coordinator, which is the only parallel to Gibbs with Williams.

I don't think there's any comparisons in the Gibbs/Shanahallen hires.
