Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?

His failure to acknowledge that he poorly scouted DM and that it was a costly mistake to a franchise trying to reboot are troubling. To me, this is a symptomatic of his entire, generally successful, coaching career. Even as a coordinator back in the day, he has always had a blindingly large ego. At the same time, in the past, he has been successful despite this flaw and may well yet be successful here. Time will tell.

As to AH, I disagree. This one is cannot be laid at anyone but AH's doorstep. MS & Hanifan had made a determination of where they wanted to go and provided AH the opportunity to bail or stay. He chose to stay. After that, all bets are off you play by the coach's rules (even if he wants you to run 50 windsprints or play safety). AH is a headcase and maybe one or two coaches could have solved him (even Gibbs had problems with Arrington - his greatest inherited talent).

Bottomline, in year one, MS gets a pass from me. If the ego is still here in three years but the winning is not, that's a different discussion.

When did Hanifan get involved?
