all of snyders coaches except zorn have been given power and control over personnel decisions. i am sure most of the top coaches will find that and a 8M dollar check pretty attractive. Plus Snyder almost always gets what he wants. blache and sherm lewis both worked with gruden, shanahan, and holmgren. the team is gonna be a comfortable fit for one of those three.
giving the coach too much power has been the problem more so than the front office butting in too much. Gibbs and spurrier were garbage GMs, as most coaches are, and the team has lacked a legit player personnel guy becuase of it.
Every new coach has a new system, the player acquisition continuity got effed up. the team would actually be better off sticking with Vinny and letting him find the right coach over time.

This skins team is built a lot like the Steelers and Giants teams of the last three years. I'm just saying...
