Bill Cowher, if he was genuine expressing interest.
If not, Shanahan's the next best thing. (Assuming we want a "proven" coach).
Given Snyder's meddlesome ways in the past, i don't think there's anything wrong with expressing concern when we see some of the same things. snyder has not earned the benefit of the doubt. in 2-3 years - maybe, but he hasn't earned it yet. if there's anyone here who's not atleast somewhat suspicious of him, please PM me. I have a great investment opportunity i would love to offer you.
Should snyder have some involvement with hiring shanahan - absolutely. but it should only come in the form of a "second interview" after Allen has conducted "first interviews" with Shanahan and other coaches.
There really isnt a reason to rush things here. Whats wrong with interviewing other candidates? If Bill Cowher is interested, why
wouldnt Allen atleast
interview him? Think about it. What would we have to lose? The only other job available right now is the bills job - and shanahan's already turned them down. we have all the leverage in the world. why not use it?
Its called
Due Diligence. Its something every GM worth his salt would perform before hiring a head coach. Unless, you know, the owner is calling the shots and has already made up his mind.
