As someone said, hiring Cowher depends on the whole package. If we try giving him the keys to the whole kingdom, I am dead set against it. If he is the HC only, and we bring in a GM to help with personnel decisions, I could live with that, again, depending on his assistants. As Boone pointed out, Cowher has a pretty impressive record of success to point to, in many ways more impressive than Shanahan's.
But to me, it comes down to control.
I agree with you
Given the trend of successful HC's trying to make their name at the GM role, I'm inclined to think control is going to be a top priority, and demand, for someone like Cowher (or John Gruden) and Snyder will acquiesce.
