Instead it gets spun as the Skins being an outlier because DS has been a "become a cancer for coaches".

DS just took a 10million dollar bite because Shanahan didn't perform, so it seems to me that he would take an 8-12million bite if it's clear the Skins need to move on, but bottomline, no media will make Gruden or Allen feel insecure regardless of the spin they try to put on it.

And Smoot thanks for the numbers, is there any place where coaching salaries are published like players. I tried spottrac but that didn't seem to have it (i was looking for Garretts which I thought would be public by now)

edit:
NFL Head Coach Contracts & Salaries | The Front Office

this one has a decent list.

My friend, I could give a goat's ear what JLC has to say either way.

My point is that we keep reinventing the wheel and then keep finding that our wheel is crappier than others. Seems to me that there is a lesson there.
