If you think for a min...
Our ownership... No spending. So, IF we get Cow, we probably won't be very active in FA. I don't care what people say about "Cow won't come here without full-control." G-Boys would owe 3 coaches this next year if they did. " Besides, the OWNERS control all, not him. So, If you would like to get PLAYERS this offseason, you probably don't want Cow here this season. They might want to wait a season before spending big-money in FA/draft if they do obtain him.
Of course, I believe Gruden/Shanny/or Cow could have taken this same team and made them into playoff contenders. So really, it's just about getting Rah out of here and giving the players a real chance at winning. The players were confused half the season, so yes, they could've at least competed for PO (before anyone even starts in).
A real HC has players prepared BEFORE the games..... Yes! firing a OC ten days before a starting-season-game, and a DC halfway though the season is NOT being prepared guys!
Hang on to those three wins Radiolovers...
