Both Shanahan and Cowher have impressive resumes. Who's the best one? That's pretty subjective. Strong cases can be made for both. But it comes down to who is the best fit for the organization. Shanahan just seems to be the better fit for a variety of reasons. If Cowher had a genuine interest here, I'd find it hard to believe he wouldn't be considered.
