May the Schwartz be with you?

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.

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.

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

[SmootSmack]

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.

[724Skinsfan]

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

[Schneed10]

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.

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

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

[skinsfan_nn]

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.
