NOT a smart move.

That's a good point. So assuming all preexisting conditions, what should have happened? MS releases his own statement without other coaches? That looks like a segmented coaching staff.

No, it looks like one is considered management (much like Bruce Allen) and the others are coaches. Its a bit complicated when the coach is also the president as well. I think in this situation, Shanny makes a statement independently while reminding people that he is also management. That way it clears up any question about "split" coaching staff. That is how I feel it should have been handled. I have a big problem with the coaching staff siding with owners against the players. They have absolutely no dog in the fight so there is absolutely no reason for them to be dragged into this.
