Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

[BigHairedAristocrat]

According to pft, mort said the league is requiring the skins to interview a minority candidate again after Zorn is fired. This could delay things or create problems if no minority candidates agree to a sham interview. At this point, jerry likely knows he won't be retained in any capacity so I don't know what motivation he has to interview again.

This is complete and utter bullshit if this is true.

No it is not. The interview with Jerry Gray was complete and utter bullshit on Gray and Snyder's part.

My understanding is that it's more of a request than a requirement, since Gray was interviewed when Cerrato was in charge and now Allen is in charge.

However, I think the bigger issue is that whatever the Redskins did they clearly checked with the Fritz Pollard Alliance and got its blessing but maybe didn't quite check with the NFL league offices. It's a bit surprising if they didn't do that. But if that is the case, it still strikes me as a bit odd that the FPA said it was fine.

Pretty much what the RI is refering to:Redskins Insider - Report: Redskins must interview Gray again
