Bruce Allen or Mike Shanahan

Key Lime or Lemon Meringue?

I feel like all of these recent threads are just restated themes from the fire Shanny thread...

Somewhat. But I'm not taking anything away from Shanahan the head coach. I question his evaluation of talent. The NY Midgets have Jerry Reese scouting and drafting their players and Tom Coughlin coaching them. That's the same formula that was used during the glory years with Bobby Bethard and Joe Gibbs. Shanahan's evaluation of talent can also be questioned in his decision making as HC like releasing Terrance Austin and keeping Aldrick Robinson. Austin was simply the better and more reliable wide receiver.

Who should be in charge of personnel.
To answer that, one would have to know and thoroughly understand the organizational process for personnel acquisition. Am I right?
Or is the assumption that this organization operates like a fantasy program and one person calls the shots...

Where is Austin now?

Not sure I'd use a move like that to point out talent evaluation issues.

Gibbs wasn't completely out of the equation in the scouting process back in those days, so give him a little credit there. You've mentioned Terrance Austin. What team is he starting for now? I suppose you're not going to give Shanahan any credit for Albert Morris? You would agree that Shanahan made the right decision in starting Fred Davis, finding guys like Pierre Garçon and Josh Morgan? I personally think Mike and Bruce have done a pretty good job in finding talent for the offense.

I think Allen has more input that some realize. He's not a silent partner in all this.
