May the Schwartz be with you?

[BleedBurgundy]

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.

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.

I guess the frontrunner thing is what got me worked up. How can there be a frontrunner after one interview? There's only one runner! lol.

For all we know they already "interviewed" a minority candidate. It, from what I understand, could be as simple a phone call.

<<phone rings>>

Hello?
VC: Hey Dennis, It's Vinny Cerrato
DG: Hey Vincenzo, que pasa?
VC: Listen, we're talking with potential head coach candidates. Are you interested?
DG: Nah I'm cool
VC: Ok then, bye

Probably not exactly like that.

If nothing else, Irish will have no reason to complain. This is what he wanted, a young, no-name.

LOL

You know I'm kind of torn as to what I want. For salary cap reasons, we need a guy who will keep the roster intact and employ the players we have, which probably means it makes most sense to retain a lot of the existing staff. That makes GW the best choice.

But then if Gibbs is involved in the decision, and is telling Danny that GW is no good, then I definitely trust Gibbs' judgment when it comes to evaluating coaches. If there's ONE thing Joe Gibbs is good at, it's surrounding himself with people who'll help him succeed. If he thinks GW is simply a good coordinator, then I am on board. Likewise, if Gibbs endorses Schwartz (or anyone else for that matter) as a good and complete leader, then I'm good with the decision, even if it means gutting the current roster and rebuilding.

But if Gibbs isn't involved, and Snyder's just doing whatever the hell he wants, then I'll be upset. If Gibbs is telling him to hire GW, and he's saying nah screw that, I'll be ever so pissed.

Schneed, to add to your 1st paragraph - P. King reports that Schwartz read "Money Ball" & has a degree in economics from Georgetown. King made it sound like this is a big part of his value, as if he could help a team manage the cap or at least make prudent roster moves. If he subscribes to Billy Bean's money ball ways, he's a guy that believes in low cost high value draft picks rather than expensive free agents.

Just wanted to point out the possibility that maybe Snyder is changing his approach 180 & Schwartz is a candidate for salary cap reasons.

I really liked King's description of him, sounds like a good manager.

I think LDS is tasting all 57 flavors instead of the flavor of the week this time.

Maybe Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry just aren't doing it anymore for him.
