Remember Allen had Whitsitt bumbling stuff for a while, Holmgren and he had issues plus he was an idiot both here and in Portland.
Allen let him go off the Golden gate bridge and gave him just enough rope not to hit the water, then he replaced and fired those that could not hack it. Ruskell was the next one he let hang himself but that damage was also done. Then Mora.
Allen was not a quick hook either, he listened and weighed things before making big decisions, this came to high contracts for players as well, he wanted in on the negotiations and final say.
Jody being local knows what's going on, she knows a lot more about Football then many idiots here that think they do. Her and Paul had been going to Husky and Seahawks games many years before they were owners.
She also worked with Paul for years.
She isn't oblivious, just not a Limelighter.
Also as a more Cooperate entity they need meetings between her, Vulcan, and Pete etc. Things always move slower then when a guy like Snyder or Jones makes decisions on his own.
