My main gripe with the hiring of Allen has been his complete lack of accumen in the personnel department and history as being nothing more than a yes-man in personnel-issues. In light of this report, Allen may not be too involved in those issues after all. This would seem to make sense, in light of his and Snyders cryptic comments on the issue during the press conference today.

If JLC's sources are correct and hiring Allen is just the first step, and we bring in DeCosta to handle personnel matters, hire Shanahan to coach the team and run the offense, and retain Jerry Gray as DC, I will do a backflip. There's not much more Snyder could to make me happy.

honestly i really don't think any changes need to be made in the coaching staff. i know i'm probably in the minority but bringing in yet another coach means more change and possibly more set backs. make lewis the oc and let him call the plays and let zorn keep game planning and working with jc and i think we're on our way. i'd keep blache if he wants to stay, if not then hire grey as dc and let's keep things stable.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see Gregg Williams get the job? Assuming he could forgive Dan, at the very least it was no secret that Cerrato didn't get along with GW. I still don't know who to put my money on, but this is definitely a glorious day. At the very least we will probably see our two first round picks go towards the O-Line given Allens history. He truly is the anti-Cerrato.

So basically you absolutly believe the Cerrato propaganda about Zorn game planning and all Sherm Lewis is doing is calling the plays to JC? You still can't be that nieve? Zorn had no clue as to what was wrong with the team, he had no clue as to how to fix it other then to say his system is not the problem and that it was all about execution. The team goes out and picks up a retired OC and he comes in and everything starts looking better. Even B-Bitch said we actually look like we are finally running a WCO. Sherm Lewis fixed this problem. Sherm Lewis did what Zorn could not do with a whole healthy team. Plus it's not all about the offense gelling...Levi Jones recently came in, Dockery is new this year, the RG is new and Heyer. Basically the OL has had 2-3 weeks tops to gel. Sherm Lewis did more for this club then Zorn, everything from the game plan to the play calls. You want proof? Zorn was in control during the last 2 min. of each quarter. He also handled the Redzone. Both are areas that were bad even after Sherm Lewis came to the Skins. I'm believing they took that away from Zorn cause we actually have been better and have started scoring more. Plus clock management has gotten better.

So please everyone stop with the "I hope we keep Zorn cause he has figured this thing out" and "Zorn deserves more time" ....to what? continue to be mediocre?

If you want to keep Sherm Lewis to help out the new HC then it might work out but Zorn has to go. He sucks.

Yea if we cannot get Gruden than we should keep our Coaching Staff in place for at least 1 more season.

From what I understand, Lewis has said he does not want to stay beyond this year. I think he said that even before all of this

Yep you are 100% right. Lewis made that well known when he was hired this year. Maybe a shame though, because the offense is suddenly clicking so well.
