Snyder's Possible Head Coach Smokescreen

I've come to face the music this thread made better sense to me while I was on cloud 9. Now after reading it again day after it was one of those it didn't come out the way it was suppose too. I never saw that youtube until now that was basicially what I was thinking, but nonetheless I put myself out there to get hammered and it was well deserved. :spank:We're just messing with you.
I doubt that Snyder hired Zorn just to buy a year until Cowher was ready for a couple of reasons.
1) Snyder is actually a fan of the team and I think he wants to see them do well, even if that means hiring a complete nobody who just happens to know how to win in the NFL.
2) If he did want Cowher next year wouldn't it make more sense to hire a short term coach who's ideas and schemes match Cowhers more closely? Why go from Al Saunders offense, to the West Coast, then back to a power running game/ball control scheme? If you did that you'd not only be throwing away this year, but you'd likely be throwing away the first year under Cowher while he gets everything in place.
3) Who's to say Cowher would actually come here next year, especially after it becomes clear that Snyder just goes through head coaches like they're nothing. (this one is hypothetical, assuming that Snyder were to fire Zorn after a year)
4) WWRAD? (What Would Rick Astley Do?)

i think they hired zorn as the offensive coordinator because they were absolutely blown away in the interview but it was just too risky to make him a head coach because he had no experience as a coordinator.
when there continued search yielded no candidates that impressed them they said in laymens terms what the hell lets give him a shot at the top spot.
if they had hired a top candidate and failed it would have just been a failed attempt and they would have moved on, but with zorn if he had failed miserably it would have been another snyder mistake and snyders image with the media and fans would have taken another hit, and I believe that snyder is at least a little worried about having an al davis type image with the fans and media which i believe made him a little gun shy in pulling the trigger on a coach that impressed him very much.

Wow. I've heard of tinfoil hats, but never saw a tinfoil football helmet before.

Don't be loony. Leave that to the Oakland fans.

$15 million is a lot to pay for a smoke screen.

True. If he wanted a fill-in, he could've picked up any of us for $50,000.

you didnt qoute me but you did say oakland fans so i am curious if this is in response to my post and more specifically my al davis comment.

if so why do you think they didnt give him the head coaching position right away, I meen if he impressed them why not and if he didnt impress them why did they offer it to him.
i suppose its possible they wanted somebody to fail but like somebody else said 15 million is a lot for a seat warmer plus i dont think that snyder would play a game like that.
If he really wanted cowher i think he would have gotten him this year or moved on to another candidate.

Damn I can't go anywhere without getting that shit. :laughing2

sorry guys,I hadnt pulled that on anybody before but i thought the situation called for it:)
