Redskins Insider - Analysis: Redskins' interview is bit of a Gray area

The rule will have to change I suppose to not allow for head coaches to interview when there is no vacancy. What Snyder did wasn't wrong...but it may not have been right either. And I can't totally fault Gray for accepting an opportunity to interview for a rare opportunity but he probably didn't show the most tact there.

I wonder though if all this commotion would be happening if it was Tony Dungy that was rumored to be coming here, not Mike Shanahan.

I agree it's bizarre.

But the way I'm looking at it is, if Goodell cleared it, the Fritz Pollard Alliance cleared it and there was clearly no wrong doing... what's the big deal?

I agree.

It's not like Snyder did it and now is arguing that he complied. He called them up and cleared it. If they said no then I doubt it'd have been a deal at all. He'd wait until the 4th..do a token on Gray and then hire Shanahan. But he asked if he could fast forward that and they said yes. Everyone can get mad at the league but not the Skins. For pete's sake they asked if they could do it.
