Haslett Skins Part Ways

I would love to see Wade Phillips step in.

I think it's funny people are saying Snyder needs to back the truck up to [insert name]. Even if the decision was forced on Gruden, Let him now have the opportunity to bring in "his" guy. This year is now his to set a course for the Skins, and he ought to have full say in who heads the defensive side of the ball.

I also am ok with Allen staying in the role he's in. It may be not the Mercedes, but it's not a Pinto either, and too many changes confuse the issue of who is holding the keys. Lets say we bring in a B+ or A- candidate, now is he going to make the calls, if so does Gruden get another year because the A- candidate pushed a different group on him?

Get the defense coached right, bring in top notch Safeties, and RT. And draft solid OL/DL. That's what I'd like to see.

No way! He wanted to keep Haslett, for goodness sakes! That creates plenty of doubt about his ability to select a quality DC.

26-58 record. Allen is definitely not a Mercedes.

Again for everyone that wants change, who the hell else is going to come here.

Yikes. I've seen all I need to see of Bruce Allen as a talent evaluator. If Snyder wants to keep him on to organize alumni events, coordinate Harvest-Fest, or handle public affairs, fine. But please keep him out of the room when it comes to building a roster.

The 'He's not a Pinto either' outlook is absolutely not the attitude I want for this organization ever again. We need leaps and bounds better than what we have and we need it right now.

Ok so who replaces Allen and will they come here?

Again for everyone that wants change, who the hell else is going to come here.

I think anybody who wants to be able to say "I turned that franchise around" would come here. Only problem is Snyder has to want to hire that person first.

So who's out there? So far I heard Rex, Phillips, Norton Jr. so far.

I would interview Brian Baker, he needs to be given a chance, Kirk Olivadotti is another one.

Again for everyone that wants change, who the hell else is going to come here.

That's a a fair question. The following all would be eligible to become our GM (that is, it's a vertical move for them):

Tom Heckert, Broncos
Brian Xanders, Detroit
Chris Ballard, KC
Nick Caserio, New England
Tom Gamble, Philly

Of course there are many more possibilities. The following links talk about a number of folks:

As for "will they come here?," who knows, but we wanted Gruden, Shanahan, and Allen before and got them all.
