Our next coach??

I think the chances of Cowher coming here are slim to none. Just not his style of organization.

Please let it be Cowher....

To be honest, if we can't land Cowher, i'm on board from promoting Lewis and Meidt: Lewis as HC and and Meidt as OC. Lewis is old, but the spark he's brought this team is undeniable. If he didn't want the job (and at his age, i'd understand), then i'm all for promoting Gray or bringing back GG. basically, our offense finally seems like its clicking and, unless we bring in Cowher, I don't want to see it change.

To be honest, I would no longer be as upset if Vinny sticks around. His 2008 draft picks all seem to be panning out nicely and he was on the money bringing in Lewis. Of course, if the rumors are true about Vinny bad-mouthing Snyder around the league, he might be gone no matter what.

I thought it might be Cowher, but he's apparently not in the mix at all. Shanahan still the rumored lead-but if Houston and/or Dallas come calling it will be a tough sell. Steve Mariucci not interested in moving east. If Houston lets Kubiak go...I'd like to consider him, but he's not an option right now. If Dallas hires Mike Shanahan, Jason Garrett could be an option...but I don't see it because of the backlash that would create (though I don't think that should dictate the decision). Brian Billick not being discussed as far as I know, though my gut still tells me he's in the picture. Other guys like Ron Meeks could get interviewed again. But I think at that point they're more likely to just stick with Zorn. And then there's Pete Carroll who is rumored to be near the top of a couple of team's lists (though not the Redskins) and who spoke at length with the Redskins the last time around.

As always, January-April will be fun for Redskins fans

I like Cowher too but I get the feeling or maybe it's his actions that he just is not interested in being the HC of the Skins. I honestly think he wants the Carolina job and might have a side agreement for after this season he would take over. I also wonder if his decisions are not tied to his kids and college. Are any of them in any of the N.Carolina colleges? or is it closer to a house he owns or something? It shocked me that it was mentioned he was interested in possibly the Buc's also. Maybe it's more his wife and kids wanting to go somewhere warm vs. a cold weather climate.

I've read that Cowher's not in the mix at all myself, but I simply can't beleive he wouldn't be. He's the "biggest fish" out there and I don't see how Snyder could help himself. I realize that the current organizational structure here isn't what Cowher (or any respectable coach) would want, but i think its understood that the organizational structure here would change to suit a guy like Cowher. Gibbs return to the Skins came out of left field. So did Zorn's hiring. I think whatever happens, its going to take most of us completely by surprise. I simply don't see Zorn staying though. After a season that will likely end at or below 5-11, Snyder can't keep him around. It would be a PR nightmare. Besides that, Zorn is really just an impotent figurehead right now. If Snyder can't land ahis "big fish," I think promoting Jerry Gray or Sherm Lewis becomes the most likely option.

Thought this was interesting.

Charlie Weis and Jimmy Clausen to Reunite with Redskins? (http://www.footballnewsnow.com/2009/could-charlie-weis-and-jimmy-clausen-reunite-with-redskins/)

I'd still rather have someone else as HC. Let Weis be OC.

I actually thought that Weis and Clausen may reunite in Buffalo. They need SOMETHING to get that franchise excited again. I wouldn't be excited about either one of them in DC.

This was an interesting thread also...

For those who have "inside info"/better logic than me: Whats Vinnys status now? - EXTREMESKINS.com (http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?t=310810)

the second blogger is commenting on the story I heard also about DS staying late at the park.

Former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis and QB Jimmy Clausen could find themselves together again with the Washington Redskins next season.

It’s a possibility.


Sure, anything is a "possibility". :doh:

I hate fuzzy speculation.

I don't think Danny could sell Shannahan & Vinny as anything other then more of the same. I like to think us Redskins fans are smarter then that...

Agreed on Weis. I'm starting to like Bradford over Clausen a bit. I don't know, they're neck and neck for me. Need to see how Bradford performs at the combine. Of course, this is all assuming they go QB in the 1st round
