Snyder Hires Shanahan Not the GM

Not to be an idiot here, but is this thread title implying that Shanahan has been hired? That's how it reads, but none of the discussion states that, nor do I see any other sources confirming this. Has it been confirmed or does the thread need to be renamed?


He is in DC and is expected to be announced this week, maybe as early as today. I think its a pretty done deal. Lynch, who was calling the game Sunday said he talked to shanahan and said he pretty much thought Shanny was going to be here also.

Allen has been an "advisor" for Snyder for a while now, long before he was officially hired. So why are we assuming this is Snyder's call? Because he picked him up at the airport??

In fact, John Mara just fired the defensive coordinator and NYG is one of those ooh ahh front offices.

At the risk of sounding like a dick, anyone who cannot recognize that Allen/Shanahan is the best thing that's happened to this franchise since '93 is a moron.

We've all been screaming for a 'football guy' which Allen clearly is. We clearly need a powerful, respected head coach, which Shanahan clearly is. Look, Snyder is going to be involved at some level. Get used to it or get over it. I'm choosing to believe that he's going to let Shanahallen do their thing and not micro-manage them.

If I'm proven wrong then blast me for being naive but the negative nellies who will find something wrong with everything the franchise does are really annoying.

I've got no problem with some skepticism. We've been doing the same song and dance for the last 10 years. So until we see some proof of real change, I can understand why there will be doubters. But yeah some of this stuff just rings a little hollow with me. Just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining.

Exactly, with some people around here Snyder is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't... It's a no win situation to some people with Snyder...

This also.

Well, actually its a 72 win and 96 loss thing. That's what it boils down to - until those number turns around, Snyder will be lambasted.

With that said, I agree with Paintrain and think "Best post ever" sentiment.
