Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

At home tonight to watch the Caps vs. Oilers game in DC on Comcast. Between periods they spoke about Redskin brass interviewing Meeks today and that would more than likely wrap up coaching interviews as they met the Rooney Rule requirement.

Then, the broadcaster stated that "privately Greg Williams has the endorsement of Joe Gibbs to be his replacement" (This is the first time I have heard this). Curious if Joe has been directly involved with the interview process for his replacement with the candidates? Being he is still at Redskin park until the job is filled and part of the team with the special adviser role.

I don't have time to look if this has been mentioned already, but I heard on WFAN in NY that the Redskins might have a secret "big splash" candidate...Dick Vermiel. Although a great coach, not much of a future there with a 71 year old.

That cannot be true. Dick Vermeil? That guy is done.

Yeah, I can't bear to watch him cry anymore

not a chance...he's WAY too old to be going through an entire season

More on Mora Jr.....

From JLC's blog: [url=http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/]Redskins Insider[/url]

[QUOTE]One thing to watch in all of this is the role of Vinny Cerrato as well. Vinny is pretty tight with Mora - they worked together in San Fran - while there is not a close bond between Williams and Cerrato in any way. So they'll mull this thing over for a few days, and we'll see what they really think of the current coaching staff and roster by their actions when they name a new guy.[/QUOTE]

The fact that Mora Jr, and Vinny are tight really bothers me....

Edit: Sorry, you are right it does say they are tight. But then he says "there is not a close bond at all." WTF is he talking about?

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I have no clue what he's talking about. The more and more I think about it....it seems to me that whoever Snyder hires, he better get along with Vinny because Vinny ain't going nowhere. Maybe GW and Vinny don't get along or GW just wants to go in a different direction?

It really pains me to think that Snyder's decision will be based on Vinny....

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

Oh Im stupid. I was reading it that he was tight with Mora, but that there was no close bond between them. Which made no sense. It makes sense now that I realize that the second comment was about Williams. Silly me.

I agree. It is scary to think he would make a decision on head coach based on Cerrato. Especially if Gibbs and all the players want Williams. If Danny has to choose between the two he SHOULD choose Williams (IMO), but that seems doubtful.

I hope if Mora comes in that Saunders stays. It would suck to clear house entirely. I feel like Defense can adjust to a new system quicker then an offense. Is there any truth to that? or is the adjustment period usually about the same on either side of the ball?

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I read the blog this morning & immediately had the same fears; please don't hire Mora just because vinny likes him or he does a great interview. The dude said his dream job would be at U of W. He's a west coast guy & he didn't win immediately, would end up looking like the OBC in b&g. I just can't see Mora here.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

Did anybody catch the Comcast morning sports show? Bram Weinstein (on Washington Post Live) was saying that he was thinking Mora could be introduced as the HC in the next few days. I would completely dismiss it if it weren't for the fact that this guy has been covering the situation for some time.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

Every single player and coach has unequivocally supported Gregg Williams, not even a "well you play for whoever the coach is" or a "we're professionals here and you have to do your job" It will truly blow my mind, and it will show us just how much Dan Snyder is in Vinny's pocket.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I don't care if they hire a coach that I've never heard of. As long as DS takes his time, and really thinks it through. Look at our past coaches, big name guys with good records, and what happened? I think he'll make the right decision, and for once I'm going to stand by him on it. If he makes a bad choice, then maybe Tom Cruise should be in charge of hiring our personel. Hell, he has to be a good judge of talent.

But I think for once, he doesn't really have to think it through...its a no-brainer in my opinion, even if he hires Williams and we go 1-15...he'll get a pass because its what everyone wanted. If he hires Mora however, and we win 6 or 7 games...the roof will come down on FedEx

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I don't know much about Mora, and it's not exactly the splashy move a la Spurrier. The part I didn't like in the latest blog was where JLC said that the NFL person he spoke with talked about how Mora gave a great interview and was charming. I guess the interview has to count for something, but hiring someone off an interview seems dubious, you've got to look at production. From afar it does seem that Mora got kind of a raw deal in Atlanta, and that the UW comments were taken WAY too far, but it just seems that GW is a better candidate, with better production in the league, who's been with the team, who has the support of the players and fans, and if he doesn't work out then Snyder can go hire Cowher or whoever else he wants. Why not give him a shot? Seems like that is just a much safer option no matter what happens.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

Not to mention if GW has the coaching staff, players, fans AND JOE GIBBS SUPPORT to be the replacement, what more needs to be said. Hes done a great job as a defensive cordinator for the team, hes ready for the next step.

If Dan were to hire ANY other HC other than GW, I think it would create alot of chaos within the organization. Lets hope for no regression.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I was just watching the Sunday pre game show on ESPN. Mort reported that on the coaching issue in DC regarding GW, that Dan, Vinny & Joe Gibbs all went out to catch a movie & (to talk about issues)...which happened to be The Bucket List, Joe wasn't to fond of the movie/flick name.

As per his report there are still some holdups on getting the deal done with GW? Mort did not have any specifics.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews,o you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

i think new coach will be BRIAN BILLICK and he will be name on monday!!!!!!!!

Probably just some final contract details to iron out.

I would think so. Certainly wouldn't think it would have anything to do with length of contract/money? More over control, personnel, team issues, IMO.

Hopefully they will be able to work through these issues and MAYBE they are more minor than they sound, who knows. Except of course the parties involved.

I don't think BB has a thing to do with any of this!

Redskin Insider: This Cowher talk just doesn't stop......?

Posted at 10:06 PM ET, 01/20/2008
Cowher Madness

Great games today, eh?
Had a feeling this NFC game was going OT from the half.

Anywa, rumors going nuts about Cowher and the Redskins. Went back and watched the CBS post-game clip in question and at one point Cowher clearly states how enticing the Skins job would be for any coach ... "But not for Bill Cowher."

Spoke to a person very close to Cowher tonight who says nothing has changed in his approach at all. He's not coming back to coaching in 2008 and loves what he is doing. Again, who knows. Maybe some $50 million deal at the last minute changes his mind.

The Redskins coaches still have heard nothing from the front office about the search. Also heard that Jim Mora was never offered the job, contrary to a FOX report, and that no one has been offered anything to this point, in fact. The idea that Mora walked away from a potential life-changing payday at this stage of his career, out of hand, frankly, is laughable.

Re: With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC
 

I have a feeling that GW will be named HC by Wednesday.
