ESPN: Redskins to Interview G. Williams Today

[WillH]

I almost feel like Danny should just take the fine rather then do some B.S. interview. It may not be PC, but IMO it would be worse to have a fake interview for the sake of complying to the Rooney Rule. I wonder if the rest of the league would understand that, or if it would be considered a slap in the face of minorities in the league. I kind of feel like it is more degrading to string a man along if you have no intentions on hiring him.

Well, anyways, maybe that secret interview in Az (that apparently wasn't Russ Grimm now?) was with some minority coach, and this will all be squared away by the end of the weekend, if not by this evening.

It might have been Maurice Carthon

Slightly OT, last night I dreamt John Clayton said the Redskins were in Arizona interviewing Art Monk for the HC job. Crazy!

Absolutely worth another shot.

I Agree . . . but I hope he doesn't try that airhorn tactic again . . . ha ha.

That article made it sound like he had no idea what he was doing the first time around. But our players seem to love him, and I am sure that Gibb's style has rubbed off on him a bit. Also, the supporting coaching staff seems pretty legit this time. Im excited to see what happens if he gets the chance, and quite honestly terrified to see what happens if he is not.

"The source said Schwartz was led to believe the process would be short, there would be on GM hired, though there could be changes made on the offensive side of the ball regardless of the coach." -JLC

So does that suggest that Saunders may be on the chop block? I hope not.

If he were to leave though (and while we're on the subject of Tomlin) it would be nice to see the new HC include Jason Campbell when rewriting the playbook . . . ala Tomlin and Rothlisburger. . .and in that case the other Offensive playmakers like CP, Cooley, and Moss. It seems we have had a difficult time getting maximum production out of these guys considering their potential, and I like the idea of giving them input into what works best.

Edit: Just saw SS's post regarding this earlier, thanks SS

WILLIAMS INTERVIEWING FOR 'SKINS JOB

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will interview on Saturday for the vacant head-coaching job in D.C.

Mort says that Williams is regarded as the front-runner for the job, and we think it makes sense. This is a veteran team, so continuity is important.

Mort also points out that the Redskins have yet to comply with the Rooney Rule by interviewing a minority candidate. But with Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier willing to become the Rooney Rule's new Art Shell, the 'Skins likely will be able to comply.

Jay Glazer said on Fox Sports today that the Cardinals didn't give the Redskins permission to interview Grimm. That's three different places I've heard that now so I guess that's what happened.

But that just strikes me as really odd. Did Grimm not want the interview? Did the Redskins never really ask? Strange

Glazer also did say they will probably interview Frazier. I wonder if they'll wait to see what happens in the Colts game tomorrow. Colts lose, interview Caldwell or Meeks. Colts win, interview Frazier.

I'm thinking more and more they went to speak to Jim Fassel in Arizona. I really hope he's not the choice. I think he's a good head coach, but not the right move for us.

Jim got run out of Baltimore, I highly doubt hes even on our radar. It would kinda be nice to know who was in Arizona of interest...IF ANYONE..?

Well JLC says Fassel says the Redskins didn't meet with him.

I wouldn't have thought any interest in Fassel, who knows what they were doing out there or who they MIGHT have interviewed if anyone? I'm sure we'll find out pretty soon.

Right after we sign our new head coach GW tomorrow (HOPEFULLY)! Be nice to move on to the next chapter and stop the wondering, and also put an end to some of these goofy names coming up as our potential next head coach.

[DynamiteRave]

Well since Cowher has pretty much said that practically no amount of money would make him willing to come back to coach, I wanna see GW as the coach. Good luck to him.

Al Saunders was at the Wizards game (big win over the Celtics!) tonight, for what it's worth.

Anyhow, yeah it will be really interesting to see what happens on the offensive side of the ball. Either way I don't see Cameron here. He'll probably be Marty's OC if Schott takes the Ravens' HC job.

That's gonna hurt cause I don't see any good OC candidates around. Maybe that's why they went to see Fassell, I don't like him plus that a West Coast Offense.
