GM, I had no idea of the whole control thing. I understood it to be Snyder asked if he would take the job and Cowher said no he wanted to sit out one more year plus he had commitments to the networks.

I have to be honest. I can't imagine any coach taking a job he is not going to have 100% control, other then a new coach looking for a promotion. I think it's ok for Snyder to want to have input as to who should be hired or let go or how much money to spend on any given player but other wise allow the coach to assemble his team. Allow the coach to evaluate the players. Allow the coach to pick the players he needs in the draft. All his input should be is a bonified suggestion. I know , I know its his business , his toy, his play thing, but if he wants a winning team he has to let go of the passifier.
