I'd hope and expect that Allen and Shanahan would work TOGETHER as opposed to the HC trying to control the team completely. That usually doesn't end well, but I'd have more faith in Shanahan than Holmgren to succeed in the dual role.

With this speculation, I'd still love to get Gruden despite his ESPN contract.

This is the reason why I would want Gruden instead of Shanahan. Allen and Chucky have worked together before.
