May the Schwartz be with you?

This is interesting that's for sure. I honestly don't know much about Schwartz... but it is refreshing that Snyder is going outside the box a bit (for him at least) and looking at candidates that aren't the typical big names he's gone after in the past.

Perhaps he really has learned some patience and would like to hire a guy that can be around for a while... or maybe he just wants a coach in place that's not going to want a piece of the front office decision making process.

I'm sure that probably has a lot to do with it as well. I agree though. People have been saying we need a young guy, and here's a guy that could be with us for years to come.

I still think we're hanging onto wishful thinking here when it comes to Gregg Williams. All indications are that Schwartz is here as a candidate for the head coach job. Why hasn't GW gotten the first look? Either because Danny doesn't think he's HC material, or maybe it's a Marty Schottenheimer power struggle in which GW wants too much power, who the hell knows. Either way though, this does not look like some coy scheme to get Schwartz here as an assistant to GW.

I mean, think about it from Schwartz's perspective. Why would he jump to become an assistant here when he's already interviewed at Baltimore, is a candidate in Atlanta and Miami, and already has a great assistant job working for Jeff Fisher?

There's just way too much wishful thinking going on on these boards. I'm sorry guys, it's time to face it, GW will not be the new head coach. In fact, he probably won't be a Redskin coach at all next season.

Which may be a mutual decision.

Hey Schneed, I PMed you. Take a look

I agree 100% Schneed. I also don't see it as an elaborate attempt to lure Schwartz away from one assistant job to the next. I am starting to believe that Jim Schwartz is the next head coach of the Washington Redskins. Surprisingly enough, I somehow think that's a good thing. But, I might be just falling for the hype.

Which may be a mutual decision.

I am thinking the samething. Maybe Gregg Williams doesn't want the head coaching job. Maybe he is the one who suggested Schwartz?

Really the only thing that concerns me about hiring Jim Schwartz is that it still keeps wide open the possibility that Cowher is the coach in 2009. You give Schwartz a relatively cheap contract, after one year you say "Hey, maybe you're not cut out for this..." and then along comes Cowher.

I sure hope not. I say hire Schwartz and buckle up for a long ride.

I kinda get the same vibe. I sure hope we are both wrong. Does the word turmoil fit here? Damn it Danny.

Yeah I saw it, thanks very much. I'm still having trouble putting all the pieces together though. It just doesn't add up.

Right. Williams may not have the energy after dealing with his Taylor's death. He may be looking for a little break from coaching.
