Lol. I think Snyder has taken huge steps by just staying out of the picture in general. Letting the football people run the show. That being said I think four years has been pretty patient. Based on the fact that year four saw us take a huge step backwards he has been extremely patient.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
I want to know if Shanahan was always the target for Snyder the minute Zorn was gone or was there others who were being considered.

I don't really remember hearing about anybody else other than Mike S....

Snyder was talking to Shanahan when Zorn was still here. He even wanted to can Zorn during the season and let Shanahan take over.

Remember rumors had it that if they were able to pull off the Cutler trade, they would have fired Zorn that spring after the 8-8 season and hire Shanahan.

Oh to trip back on memory lane. I still wish after Gibbs retiring we made G Williams HC and Saunders asst HC offense and let him run the offense exclusively, choosing who starts between JC and Todd Collins.

Maybe not a long term solution with Vinny still in the picture but I would put that coaching staff against anything we've had since.

Exactly, trading one debacle for another.

I think it's super naive to think G Williams is the only or eve last coach to do it. But whatever. People love bandwagons.

At least our D would have been hitting people. Now they are borderline matadors.

D would be legitimate top 10 and offense wouldn't be far behind. Collins and Saunders tore it up for the 2nd of the '07 season. If it wasn't for a million dropped passes and Rogers hoofs in the Seattle playoff game that team had a high ceiling. If there was a strong argument for continuity, it was '07-'08. Can't say the same about today on any level. That says a lot.

Lol

That's probably true. Not sure how much that factored into Dan passing up Williams tho. Sounded like there was a strong personality clash there if memory serves.
