May the Schwartz be with you?

I don't think Danny will get hung up over giving a coach power to pick the players. Any coach that comes in, whether it's Schwartz, GW, or Cowher, Danny is going to demand that the coach be the third leg of the tripod. The triumverate of Danny, Vinny and Coach X is going to stay in place, because Danny says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, we've done a good job there." Hell, Gibbs was part of the triumverate. Hell, Danny sent Marty packing because he demanded to have 100% say. Danny won't give on that, no way no how.

If GW is demanding ultimate power on players, Danny won't even consider him. There will be no games to play. Danny will find the best coach possible who will become part of the triumverate. And all indications are he thinks Schwartz is more qualified to become the Head Coach and Third Leg.

Anybody else bothered by the fact that we may hire the first guy we interview? If this is a process, why jump to any action before you know what and who are out there. I'm sorry, but you don't marry the first girl you f...k and you don't hire the first person you interview. Just my opinion.

GW will not be the new head coach. In fact, he probably won't be a Redskin coach at all next season.

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

Same thing happened with the Steelers last year. They turned out ok.

Hey, as long as it's not Brian Billick...

Lets not get to excited people. I hadn't even heard Schwartz being in the mix for the job before today. There is absolutely nobody on this site that really has a clue what's going on behind closed doors, other than the guy was here for an interview. Thats it.

Stay tuned, I think we will know fairly soon. Dan and patience don't mix all that well. It wouldn't surprise me if we know who our new head coach is in the next few days.

Though the report Matty posted said Schwartz "blew them away", I don't think Danny has committed himself to it yet. According to JLC, there are still rumblings about Jim Caldwell from Indy and Jim Mora from Seattle. I'm sure Danny will take his time. He can afford to, he knows his team is the best available head coaching vacancy in the league right now.

If we interview 3 or 4 more people and then decide on Schwartz, I'm fine with it. My concern is if we say we're going to go through this "process" and then end it after one interview, that would piss me off.

I think if I ever saw Jim Mora as head coach, I would spontaneously start to bleed from every orifice ala Conan O'Brien on SNL

Jim Caldwell and Jim Mora Jr. could get promoted to HC of their current teams, if the rumors about Holmgren and Dungy retiring are true.

Well hush little doggie because we can't do that anyway. We have to interview at least one minority candidate.

No news source said we were going to hire Schwartz. One said he "blew us away" and is now a frontrunner. But that doesn't mean the race is over.

What did Jim Mora Jr ever do that badly as a head coach other than an innocuous comment on a radio program about coaching in his home state?
