#Redskins had interest in speaking with Crennel about DC job, but source said they were denied permission to speak with him.

I highly doubt Crennel wants to come here.

Crennel promoted to assistant head coach.

So, there goes that. There also goes interviewing Vrabel. So, now, the question is, are the 'skins still hellbent on interviewing up to 8 candidates, or can they say at this point, they've interviewed enough? They've interviewed five. How many teams around the league still don't have a DC yet? There's the 49ers, Chargers, Redskins, and I think the Dolphins. Who else? That's four teams. There's, technically, five candidates that we know of.

Good point. It may be time for the Redskins to go with Plan B.

Or, could they be waiting to interview a coach whose team is still in the playoffs?

I highly doubt Crennel wants to come here.

why? was there past bad blood with him and the 'skins?

Just heard we are interviewing Dennis Thurman for D.C. Job,he has been a db coach most of his coaching career maybe we bring him on as the db coach and hire Bradley or pettine as the D.C. Since they both worked in Baltimore together..

Satisfies the Rooney rule.

Andre Carter sold on Jason Tarver: 'football IQ on another level' - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/29818/andre-carter-sold-on-jason-tarver-football-iq-on-another-level)

Can we please get a DC who has coached defenses that were NOT at the bottom of the league rankings. It's not a complicated thought.

Dennis Thurman would make the sixth candidate (and satisfy the Rooney Rule). I don't really know of any coach on the defensive side of the ball for the Packers I would want here as our DC, I don't think the Falcons are going to want to lose anymore coordinators or coaches (with Shanahan set to leave for the San Fran job), maybe there's someone one the Pittsburgh or New England coaching staff that is ready to make the next step up to defensive coordinator? Other than that, I don't really see a need to wait until the playoffs are over to interview anybody from those teams.

I think the 'skins just need to go ahead and pull the trigger on Pettine or Bradley.
