He'll take a pile of money and stick around a few years till Snyder (and probably Cerrato still) get bored, frustrated or whatever and then Shanahan will retire.

This is all fan driven speculation. We don't know of any coaches, big or small names, that have accepted or refused Snyder's calls. For all we know Snyder and Cowher talk every Tuesday at 11. At this point it's far more likely that Snyder hasn't spoken to anyone because he has a head coach for the next month and there's no point in talking to anyone about a position that's not vacant yet. There would be no reason to panic in December about not getting a chance to speak to potential coaches.
