Its clearly evident that Snyder wanted Shanahan all along. Shanahan approved of Allen so Snyder put on a pretense of changing his ways by hiring a "real GM" and letting him make all the football decisions. But we don't have a real GM. Like Vinny before him, Allen is just carrying out Snyder's bidding. If Allen were a "real GM," he would have interviewed multiple head coaching candidates. But Snyder wanted Shanahan so that's the only person who was "interviewed."

Everyone can celebrate all they want now, but time will prove that Snyder hasn't changed one bit. It'll be 2001 all over again.

YOu can't honestly believe this garbage. Shanahan wouldn't have even came here if that was the case. He has complete control when he was in Denver. I highly doubt that a coach of he status would even consider coming here if he wasn't going to have full control. The reason Snyder wanted Shanahan to come here is because he was the best coach available. Plus, Snyder wasn't the only person that wanted Shanahan. Me and a lot other Redskin fans did as well.
