No all the rumors I've heard is that the Senior Bowl is a place where coach's go to get their names out there. Zorn was there, Saunders, McCardell and many others. It so happened that Shanahan and his contingent were there and spoke with him at the Senior Bowl. Coach liked what McCardell offered and offered him a job. I'm sure he most likely talked with Allen and DS to see if they had any issues with the pick.

Yeah I just figured that Allen would've talked to him at the Bowl as well. He was there right?

He may have, we really don't know. I think if anything it hopefully shows that Shanahan is being allowed to build "his" team" vs. the owner or Allen bringing in a someone they want or someone to fill a roll.

Exactly. The whole point of getting the organization right, was that decisions were made by the "appropriate" person. I don't think a GM should make the final call on a position coach. I imagine Shanahan talked to BA and got his opinion, and maybe Snyder's to, but it's Shanahan's call to make. No more, "he's a VC guy, or a DS guy, or a whoever guy" if the coach is on the staff, it's Shanahan's responsibility - for good or bad.

Sometimes when you've been a bad relationship for a long time, when you get out, you still don't know what a good relationship even looks like. That is the best explanation I can come up with for a LOT of the fan comments I see and hear.

I agree with that; I wasn't trying to say that Allen should've been making that decision or anything.
