[QUOTE=redsk1;410077]I'm trying to be patient but if they don't announce a HC by early this week, i'm worried about GW's chances.

I don't trust DS and VC to make a good decision.

Someone else mentioned...Charlie Weiss...connections w/ Vinny thru Notre Dame??? Is this the mystery guy? Just a wild guess...

Some of the media are starting to just throw crap out there b/c they don't have anything though. Usually, though some of the crap winds up to be true. Getting impatient...do the right, smart thing and hire GW and let him go to work.[/QUOTE]

I've been rooting for Weiss since before Gibbs came on board. He would be a great coach (forget Notre Dame record).

man, i am tired and want to take a few hours nap but i have this feeling if i fall asleep now i might miss something big. Probably nothing is going to happen today. I think things are going to get much more clear by mid week.

MYSTERY CANDIDATE IN D.C.?

On Friday, we caught wind of rumors that there's a mystery candidate for the head-coaching vacancy in Atlanta. Now, Jay Glazer of FOX reports that a mystery candidate has emerged in Washington.

In our view, the term "mystery candidate" is usually code for a college head coach who's hoping not to disrupt his recruiting effort if he doesn't get the job. But after the team's experiences with Steve Spurrier, it's hard to think that owner Dan Snyder would want to give another college coach a try.

Glazer says that the Redskins' mystery candidate will be interviewed on Monday or Tuesday.

Also, Glazer reports that Seahawks assistant Jim Mora would have gotten the job if he had wanted it. Some have speculated that Mora withdrew his name from consideration after he learned that he wouldn't get the gig.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

[quote=MTRedskinsFan;410019]Am I the only one who heard the NY-GB halftime show? I heard their analyst say Mora was Snyder's #1 choice for HC. This pretty much puts GW in the dog house even if Snyder decides to give him a 1 year chance, which leads me back to the whole stink around this thing: Snyder is a flatout pisspoor owner/operator. That kind of info should never get leaked, which means Snyder should never share it w/ anyone who would possibly leak it. Being out west I don't know anything of his business background but I seriously wonder how this guy got to where he is. Almost every decision he makes regarding his football team turns into a clusterfuck. On top of all that, I read a newspaper article that talked about Snyder refusing to take any advice from successful owners, including his refusal to listen to other owners speak at the annual conventions. Can anyone (from the D.C. area) confirm whether this is true?[/quote]
Well than someone is not telling the truth becasue it was announced last week that Mora pulled his name from pot. We have a thread on this,
[URL]http://www.redskinswarpath.com/locker-room/22066-jim-mora-jr-withdraws-himself-5.html[/URL] Thats another reason not to bash someone until the facts are known.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

[quote=redsk1;410074]Yea, w/ that logic Belecheck shouldn't haven't gotten another job. What did he do in Cleveland? That loser.

Come w/ an educated reason...[/quote]
HE had no talent in clevland. williams had a decent squad in buffalo.....regardless his defense was good for only 2 of the 4 years here in washington(by good i mean top 10,few turnovers,and next to last in sacks almost every year)...the team as a whole was 30-34....i wouldnt endorse anyone on this staff

I would argue that they had a sub-par roster in Buffalo, plus I think you mean we had a decent defense 3 out of the 4 years he was here. That first year we had a top 5 defense with virtually no recognized talent

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

People tracking Redskins 1 (lear jet 45 #N4009) is going to or on it's way or as someone wrote landed in Green Bay today.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

Some people are mentioning Fassel because he was reporting in San Diago for that game and the plane was reported to have landed in LA. The plane landed in Indy for that game and he was reporting for that game. They mention Fassel in GB because he was reporting for ESPN covering the Green Bay game.

Green Bay eh?

Jeff Jagodzinski their OC, now I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Redskins get-up later this week and having him being announced as the New HC.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

I heard from a friend of a friend of a cousins little sisters boyfriends niece that BRET FAVRE will retire and become Redskins next HC!!

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

I'm so tired of the wild speculation. Let's name GW and just get it over with already.

It will be interesting if Dan does what most people think is the ONLY right thing to do (ME INCLUDED).

This will be the first test to see if the owner has learned ONE single thing about how to do things the right way, since the return of Joe Gibbs.

I can understand searching and looking at all your options and all that happy horse crap. But for crying out loud, some of the people he has actually interviewed IMO make NO sense at all, just look at who we KNOW he interviewed.

Hire the damn man (GW) that has the support and respect of the players, other coach's on board, most fans, & Joe Gibbs. Why drag this thing out any longer, just hire the next HC and lets move on!

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

[quote=Rock31;409878]As much of you probably just heard on FOX's pregame show prior to the Packers-Giants game, NFL Insider Jay Glazer reported that a "mystery candidate" has emerged in the Skins' head coach search and may get an interview with Snyder this week.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

In order to throw more fuel on the speculative fire, if indeed Redskin 1 went to GB this weekend there were a lot more people there than the GB and NYG coaching staffs. At least one former NFL coach was doing the pregame show. [Now for the firestorm of responses.]

Jimmy Johnson.

Jimmy Johnson didn't do anything when he came back with the Dolphins.

I heard he's been out of the NFL coaching loop since he's left and he's a huge cowboy puller.

If we go with this guy there should be riots.

We are probably trying to hire Howie as our next HC, they are on the FOX set together. So we can get his son.

And Jimmy Johnson looked liked he had hypothermia setting in......good chance hes back down in Miami in the hospital with one of those cocktail IV's. lol

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

Devil's Advocate (and just because there is nothing else to talk about): JG was out of coaching from '92-'04 and had nothing to do with football. Danny was able to talk him back in. JJ is the kind of big name that he loves.

OK but then you lose Williams ,one of the "if" not "the" best DC in the league?????

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

But are they sold on GW as it is? Does a guy who has been at Redskin Park for 4 years really need to interview 4 times? Would the decision process take this long? I don't know but things are getting strange if, in fact, GW is the #1 guy.

Re: Hmm...Mystery HC Candidate to Get Interview
 

Let's put the pieces together here:

Glazer said yesterday, BEFORE the Packers-Giants game, that the Redskins had a mystery candidate scheduled for an interview on Monday. We couldn't possibly have an interview scheduled with a Packer coach or a NYG coach BEFORE the game started, because we hadn't yet found out who won the game. And as we know, you can't interview until the coach is out of the playoffs.

Let's assume for a second that Glazer was right in saying we had an interview scheduled for today. Big assumption, but let's assume it anyway.

We also know that Redskins One went to Green Bay today.

So... who is in Green Bay, who is also not a Giant coach, and is also not a Packer coach?

And given Dan Snyder's penchant for the splash, and given that he brought Gibbs back under cloak and veil in 2004...

It's Jimmy Johnson.

I'll take Howie anyday of the week, even if he has no clue of what his doing. He's a local product from the hills of Charlottesville, VA. Toss in Chris in the draft and next year we'll go a LONG way!

I think, per Redskins Insider, it's Jim Fassel, who did radio for the GB game yesterday. I REALLY hope that's not the case, but Fassel's name continues to get brought up. I really hope not.

No doubt. Like someone else posted we've got the best DC in the league IMO, and a highly intellegent, motivated, respected man. Let's stop the BS and hire him before he starts getting offended.

[B]This is from an ExtremeSkins poster:[/B]

My dad, who lives in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, just called me and told me that he is listening to a radio show right now, host is something Castleberry, (John or Jim, not sure), and they are reporting that it was indeed Jimmy Johnson that is being picked up from Green Bay. Dad wasn't very good with details on who their source was, but he said they are being serious and all but confirmed it was Jimmy Johnson. So take that for what it's worth.
