snyder was NOT completely hands off when gibbs was here. he and vinny and gibbs sat around and talked about personnel moves, and later on al saunders and grilliams also got in on the act. he did give them deference though, but he was in on the conversation.

he was also very hands on with getting griffin, though i can't remember any other examples during shanahan.
