For me, like I was saying earlier, I think Dan was gonna go for more of a "sure thing" for his next head coach, which meant a veteran head coach, which also meant it limited his options. Outside of Rivera I can't say there was another veteran HC candidate he would have absolutely wanted (for whatever reason, I never saw McCarthy as a real candidate for Snyder). So it would have left a lot of 1st time NFL coaches to choose from, or keep Callahan. Either of those things would have been conditions that could have led to keeping Allen around in some capacity.

It's probably a mistake for anyone to try and come away with an overall grade on Haskins last year or use his cumulative stats to indicate anything about his overall performance in 2019...his early playing time was so sporadic and disjointed--and was made even more so by having his head coach fired mid-season. We'd be better served to have his stats broken down by starts vs relief duty, or first 4 starts versus last 3 starts, or something like that.

Snyder understood and knew about every decision and action made by Allen in the Williams hold out, make no mistake. None of it caught him off-guard. I'd dare to say that, if Rivera had not been canned by Carolina, Allen's tenure here may have lasted another year. While I have no proof of this, I find it difficult to believe Rivera would agree to work here if Allen were still on-board in any capacity. I know that there were "reports" (heh lol) that "others" in the NFL were saying that taking a HC job with the Skins was only contingent on Bruce being relieved of his duties...and Snyder has yo-yo'd between established veteran head coach and new upstart head coach almost his entire time as an owner (Marty, then Spurrier, then Gibbs, then Zorn, then Shanahan, then Jay Gruden, now Rivera). An established veteran head coach was up next for Snyder, and I don't think any established veteran head coach would have wanted to work with Bruce Allen.

^^ Personally, the only thing I give a rat's ass about is if Snyder overrides decisions or inserts himself in game-planning. The rest is yawn-inducing and irrelevant.

We can realistically expect a ton of ****ing, moaning, and complaining, coupled with a ****load of hype, optimism, and gallons of Koolaid being passed around. As for the team, no clue.

Grassy-ass, amigo...

I'm guessing this is new?...

The 2nd half of my sentence was why I posted, though lol...

Thank yew...I'm not here nearly as much as I used to be, so my gif game needs to be on-point lol...

What would have been the correct way to handle the "Trent Williams problem" that would have dissuaded Dunbar from requesting to be traded or released?

Yeah, that ain't happening lol...

This place will be interesting if Williams is extended an given a raise, and then proceeds to play like a shell of his former self and then becomes injured again. I saw what happened around here when Scherff had mediocre games and then went on IR...and he was still on his rookie contract. It won't be pretty lol...
