Our next coach??

So does he have an out clause or not? Schefter said there's a less than zero % chance Gruden is back as a HC next year, and in all likelihood we won't see him until 2012 at the earliest.

I don't know the specifics quite honestly, just have heard that if he wants out it could happen but it would cost him so much it wouldn't be worth it. But again I don't know any details

Ahh ok, but of course any team that wants him could agree to pick up part of all of the penalty he would face.

I suppose, but I think Schefter is right that there's almost no chance. That's what most people here are saying.

Ya know what you all are pissing me off, raining on my parade! Did you all plan this?

First off was Matty (:) ) with his Shottenheimer won't be coming back. Then when I come back I see Matty pointing out that Marty has no wish to be a GM or HC ever again. Thanks friend.

Then freddy continues with the whole "don't be supprised it Zorn is retained".

Then 12th has to convincingly agree.

Then someone has to throw the aged old Blache in the mix for HC.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Better yet why hasn't someone mentioned Fassel? Definitly send me over the edge. :)

I maintain, I don't think Zorn is gone "no matter what." The only caveat would be, as SS has mentioned, if Shanahan and his crew come to D.C. Gruden sounds like he's out, and I never thought Holmgren was a serious candidate for the gig to begin with. But you never know. Cowher, I guess it could happen but not likely it seems. Tony Dungy ain't coming here for sure.

So after you get through the top three or four big names, who's really left? And equally as important, who's seriously interested? A few guys that are a little better than Jim Zorn? Unless we're bringing in someone with a lot playoff experience or Super Bowls under their belt, I'm leaning 60-40 for Zorn staying.

My judgement has been kinda whack recently though. Afterall I was 99% convinced that CantonLegend was Clinton Portis. LOL I'll never forget that one.

I can't see Snyder not taking a very serious run at Shanahan. If you ask me, Zorn is about 95% gone.

I wasn't sold on Shanahan at first, but now the idea is definitely growing on me. If he's Zorn's replacement, I can live with it. What would be a head scratcher would be us going after the next assistant with promise.

I can't envision any scenario that Zorn keeps the job next year. Outside of his 6-2 start he's 5-13, the offense is still pathetic and his decision making has been very questionable at best. The team still plays hard for him but they're professionals, they'd better play hard for anyone.

A lot of you guys are REALLY underestimating how Snyder is perceived by people around the league. We see the results but they see a guy who can be meddlesome but is willing to spend any amount of money to get a player or players the team wants. Most coaches would love to work for a guy who is willing to just stroke checks to whomever he wants and above all wants to win.

At the end of the day, money talks louder than anything.

But do you think Shanahan would work for him?

He would likely be the top paid coach in the league, he would have a say in personnel, and an owner willing to spend money. Why would Shanahan not want the job?
