I understand. I was just making the comment about Tice. And I thought Fassell wasn't being mentioned at all anywhere.

GRIMM!! I hope

That is all.

Tice does have a connection to the Redskins (1989 roster, I think). But I wouldn't want him here as our HC

That's a good memory. I thought it was 88, then I looked it up, and sure enough he signed a 3 year 1.1 million deal in Feb. of 1989. He played only 1 year for us though (1989).

Just wanted to note how this compares to a poll we had following the Bills game about who you would want as the next HC if Gibbs were to step down. Here were those results

Cowher: 60
Grimm: 45
Saunders: 9
Williams: 68
Other: 18

Looks about the same. GW leading and Cowher coming in second, although this time around it's a distant second.

You can take Sparano off that list. He has already interviewed for the Miami job, he is a "Parcells guy", Jeff Ireland loves him. And Miami interviewed Vikings DC Leslie Frazier yesterday, thereby satisfying the conditions of the Rooney Rule.

If you go outside the organization, don't hire some washed out dope like Cowher. His best days are behind him and by my lights they really weren't that great anyway. Based on the support he consistently gets for the job, I can only assume that some people like losing playoff games. If its not Williams, who I think has earned a shot, then you should look for a 40ish assistant that has some distinguishing leadership skills that go beyond systems, x's and o's, or the fact that his current team happens to be hot right now. This will be an interesting test to see if Snyder still suffers from big-name-itus.

From King's list I like the sound of the Schwartz guy, maybe just for his economics background. Probably wouldn't fit w/Snyder though.

I'm still in the GW camp though.

Why all the love for Cowher? 1 SB in 14 years? Numerous 1 and done in the playoffs? Thinking Kordell Stewart is starting QB material? Or maybe it was the genius way he let Dick LaBeau (SP?) put together great defenses and then take credit.
Cowher + Skins = 08 record of 3 wins. Maybe in four years he'll have "his guys" in place and we can be at 9-7 again.
Haven't we learned our big name lesson here? I'd rather have Todd Bowles or Jim Bates over BC. Of course, I feel that GW can get us in the playoffs again next year and be a playoff contender for years to come.

and most importantly he cannot beat the Pats in the playoffs. the steelers did win. when they did not meet the pats

I think the positives in Cowher's favor (right or wrong) are that when people think of him they think perennial playoff contender, overachiever (worked with a much more stingy ownership, imagine what he could do with an open checkbook), stability, no-nonsense attitude.

People will think whatever I tell them to think.

Daniels just interviewed on nbc4 said that it would be tough to bring anyone in and said "I don't think you should bring anyone new in. I think you should build on what you got...nobody deserves it more than greg and i would like to see him as the next head coach". I think Phillip speaks for most of the players. They want GW. He even said the offense and the special teams really respects GW. Daniels said bringing in a new head coach would be hard on the players.

Which means that if they bring in Cowher, he'll have to ship out half the players because they won't "his guys". That means a lot of losing for the foreseeable future. I think it would be a big mistake to pass Williams over. Unfortunately its the sort of mistake I would expect from the current ownership group.

After hearing Snyder talk today I don't see him bringing in a new guy from the outside. It's probably GW's job to lose. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" were Snyder's words today.
