I vote for Grimm. I know my vote does not count. Would love to see Gregg come back too.

I was watching the games yesterday when they announced on TV that the Redskins interviewed Greg Blache a few days ago about the Head Coaching Position, thereby satisfying the Rooney Rule, and leaving the Skins to sign whoever they want.

One guy yesterday said that Jim Zorn has likely been told, which proves just how classy of a guy he is to still stay here....

I wouldn't discount Gregg Williams as Snyder's Plan B if he's been rebuffed by Snyder, Cowher, Gruden, etc. If I remember correctly, two years ago Snyder wanted Williams, but Vinny and Williams wouldn't work together and Snyder opted to keep Vinny. Now that Vinny's gone, there's no obstacle to Williams returning.

In addition to the names already mentioned, I think Charlie Weiss and Mike Holmgren are possibilities. I really think the chances of Shanahan coming here are slimmer than most people think.

Not sure if it's class or if he just wants a paycheck. Still, it's a tough spot for him and the rest of the staff to be in, no doubt.

I can't help but think that there's a mystery head coach candidate that is completely off the radar. Look at past moves of the Danny, he usually finds a way to make a move that nobody saw coming. Gibbs was a shocker, nobody saw Marty coming, and even the Vinny/Allen drama last week came as a surprise. The Shanahan rumors almost seem too obvious. I think something else is cooking.

There definitely is. There always is. I don't know that Vinny/Allen was a total shock. But even the most inside of insiders were completely thrown off by Gibbs and Marty.

I mean I think Shanahan is the most likely right now, but there's absolutely a mystery candidate out there.

have you heard this for sure or are you just going by the fact that there always is?

No I'm just going off of past history.

If I had to bet I would say Shanahan is still the top choice... seems to be too many reliable sources backing that up.

I agree Shanahan is Snyder's top choice... just everything i've read indicates the feeling is not mutual. So i beleive the mystery candidate is a "Plan B" with enough pizzaz to make skins fans forget all about Shanahan.

But Who?? Who could it be? Gruden?

I just seriously had the worse thought ever.....Snyder brings back Gibbs for a 3rd coaching stint....
