The Legend
Callahan is an Allen guy from their Oakland days.
So , if he decides to toughen things up and move away from Gruden's management style I doubt there is going to be any backlash.
Things here are tough on coaches but Gruden made things a lot more difficult than they had to be,
He had the endorsement of Snyder and Allen for most likely the first 4 years of his tenure but failed in that time to set down any standards of conduct and preparation for the team.
I don't think Snyder has any vested interest in seeing players at practice being on their smartphones and blowing off their responsibilities.
That was up to Gruden to set a tone and enforce it.
Most of the high picks and players Allen and Snyder champion are good guys.
It's a number of the others that needed to be dealt with.
Remember Allen talking about the offseason workouts and how they were less than what he was used to at Alabama?
These were all things in Gruden's control to fix and he just refused to listen.
You don't become a Walsh, Gibbs or Belichick allowing players to take it easy and giving them extra days off when their performance shows they need the work.
