I honestly don't either, unless the cowgirls continue their downward spiral and jones gets ancy and fires the pillsbury doughboy midseason. However, that (the firing) doesnt seem likely. If snyders goal is to get Shanahan, his best hope is for the girls to make the playoffs, so he can get a head-start on wooing Shanahan (over Jones) and offer him:

1. full control over football operations (whether he exercises that control by making himself defacto GM or whether he selects his own personnel guy would be Shanahan's choice, not Snyders);
2. something in the 9-10MM neighborhood for a minimum of 5 years with a contract that ensures Snyder will stay out of things or Shanahan gets to walk and take ALL his money with him; and
3. This is key - agree to make his son Kyle one of the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL.

Shahanan wouldn't get a better offer anywhere else, so there'd be no reason for him to wait to see what Jones does with Phillips after the playoffs.
