With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC.

[SFREDSKIN]

I'd like to see it as soon as possible to see what happens with Saunders, so we can move with another OC in case he decides to leave. I'm afraid the good OC's will disappear and if we lose Saunders then we'll be screwed.

I say monday at the earliest, or maybe later in the week to coincide w/super bowl hype.

I agree w/Matty, I think the multiple interviews are a good indication that GW is the man & they must be ironing out some serious biz. the one thing I fear is that they are giving great discussion to booting AS. I hope Snyder is requiring that he stay, maybe there's discussion related to that too & how they will proceed in 09 when AS' contract is up.

I believe if Snyder had other plans and wasn't targeting GW, why would he waste his time with 4 interviews?

He's been spending a ton of time with him, Snyder didn't become a successful businessman by not trusting his gut. I just can't imagine someone like him wasting his time on something that he didn't believe in 100%.

Would you meet with a potential employee 4 times just to convince yourself he's the right person?? I know I wouldn't... in fact I would know pretty early on whether that person was a serious candidate or not.

Why are they taking so much time though? He's been around GW for 4 years. I would bet that something isn't going as planned and this could be a bad sign.

They could be working out how much involvement GW would have in personnel matters, who they are going to keep on the coaching staff as well as finding potential replacements. I'd imagine there could be a ton of stuff to work through. Since getting burned by Spurrier Snyder has taken on a meticulous and careful approach to finding new coaches and this seems to fall in line with that.

I just don't see why the would continue to meet if Williams wasn't a serious candidate.

I'm not saying GW isnt a serious candidate, he is. I am saying that something in DS's gut is telling him GW isnt the guy and he keeps having these meetings trying to convince himself otherwise.

What are you talking about? That is totally made up!

Good catch. I am speculating with Matty about why GW is having so many interviews.

Daniel Snyder has probably made up his mind as to who his head coach is going to be, and that guy is Gregg Williams. These other interviews are to "get to know" Williams better, to talk football philosophy, and to work out fine details in regards to Williams' contract and who he wants on his coaching staff. Some of you may think this can all be worked out in one lengthy session, but I'd rather these men take as long as possible to make the right decisions.

Interviewing these other candidates are also vital, because you always keep a backup plan or two, in case the first guy doesn't workout. You also look for several other things. Such as possible future assistant coaches (you know Snyder can be persausive) and also to scout other teams.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Snyder and Williams are "interviewing" this much. I'd also add that the language of "third or fourth" interview is to stay within the rules of keeping the job "open" until the Rooney Rule is satisfied. Otherwise, Williams would be hired officially by now, and these other "interviews" would be nothing more than meetings.

I agree.....Plus it could be that Snyder is also thinking long term in the event he does hand the reins to Williams. He could be building bridges to the future in the event things do not work out for Williams. If he does get the job I'm interested in seeing the length of the contract. I'm sure Snyder will make the right decision, and he's taking this vacant opportunity to gather as much information as possible for future reference.

Does it matter..you guys know as well as i that GW will end up the man...bye bye Al Saunders welcome back limbo era

[Yellow31]

COME ON!!! Do we all think that this is really a "4th interview", they probably have everything already worked out but the signature on the dotted line, until the Rooney rule is satisfied. They are already in player discussions....i.e. draft picks, available free agents, free agents to be on the skins, aka springs etc...

Am I the only one that feels everyone else is being very naive about this, he ain't a multi-billionare at 35 for nothing.....He knows what he is doing and is playing the "game" by the rules. We have all done it some time another.....whether it be football or business, rules is rules.....but COME ON!!!

Why IF GW gets the job, which I DO think he will. IF the club were to sever ties with Al, which I DON'T think they will? But if so......

Why would we all of a sudden be in limbo era?

Yeah I don't get how all of a sudden Saunders is the glue holding the entire franchise together.

I'm having a very slow day at work and JLC hasn't updated the Redskins Insider since yesterday and I feel like I'm losing my F'ing mind!!!
I feel like a kid trying to go to sleep on Xmas Eve night.
I need an update, even if it's just a rumor or lie.
