Let the griping commence!

Anyone who thinks that an owner is not involved in hiring of a coach needs to get over it. The Rooneys hired every one of their coaches. Bowlen hired/fired Shanahan. I can think of only one recent coach that was hired purely by the GM and that is Parcells/Sparano, but Parcells is that uniquely qualified individual to do that, and Miami's ownership was in tremendous flux at the time.

It has been clear that Bruce Allen is onboard and upbeat with this upcoming hire, and I believe that if it wasn't who he wanted he either would say no, or I'm outta here.
