May the Schwartz be with you?

Either way though, this does not look like some coy scheme to get Schwartz here as an assistant to GW.

I mean, think about it from Schwartz's perspective. Why would he jump to become an assistant here when he's already interviewed at Baltimore, is a candidate in Atlanta and Miami, and already has a great assistant job working for Jeff Fisher?

There's just way too much wishful thinking going on on these boards. I'm sorry guys, it's time to face it, GW will not be the new head coach. In fact, he probably won't be a Redskin coach at all next season.

I kinda get the same vibe. I sure hope we are both wrong. Does the word turmoil fit here? Damn it Danny.

Same thing happened with the Steelers last year. They turned out ok.

Hey, as long as it's not Brian Billick...

Just curious, since IYO GW won't be our next head coach. By the way I think your dead wrong.

Who is OR who has the best chance of filling the job?

Yeah I saw it, thanks very much. I'm still having trouble putting all the pieces together though. It just doesn't add up.

SS, is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?

You want me sharing my PMs with Schneed? Sort of defeats the purpose of "private" doesn't it?

Well, you don't have to flaunt your insider status by telling us you've PMd someone with private information. "I just sent Schneed the inside scoop, but the rest of you will just have to suck it."

This is what you get for hating on my place of work all the time.

Anyhow, what I PMed him was just something between him and me. I just wanted to make sure he read it before the weekend.

He just told me I looked cute in this avatar. We said we weren't going to talk about it, but I was just too excited that he said it and had to tell the whole world!

Really the only thing that concerns me about hiring Jim Schwartz is that it still keeps wide open the possibility that Cowher is the coach in 2009. You give Schwartz a relatively cheap contract, after one year you say "Hey, maybe you're not cut out for this..." and then along comes Cowher.

I sure hope not. I say hire Schwartz and buckle up for a long ride.

Right. Williams may not have the energy after dealing with his Taylor's death. He may be looking for a little break from coaching.

[Schneed10]

I don't think Danny will get hung up over giving a coach power to pick the players. Any coach that comes in, whether it's Schwartz, GW, or Cowher, Danny is going to demand that the coach be the third leg of the tripod. The triumverate of Danny, Vinny and Coach X is going to stay in place, because Danny says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, we've done a good job there." Hell, Gibbs was part of the triumverate. Hell, Danny sent Marty packing because he demanded to have 100% say. Danny won't give on that, no way no how.

If GW is demanding ultimate power on players, Danny won't even consider him. There will be no games to play. Danny will find the best coach possible who will become part of the triumverate. And all indications are he thinks Schwartz is more qualified to become the Head Coach and Third Leg.

Anybody else bothered by the fact that we may hire the first guy we interview? If this is a process, why jump to any action before you know what and who are out there. I'm sorry, but you don't marry the first girl you f...k and you don't hire the first person you interview. Just my opinion.

Though the report Matty posted said Schwartz "blew them away", I don't think Danny has committed himself to it yet. According to JLC, there are still rumblings about Jim Caldwell from Indy and Jim Mora from Seattle. I'm sure Danny will take his time. He can afford to, he knows his team is the best available head coaching vacancy in the league right now.
