May the Schwartz be with you?

He can afford to, he knows his team is the best available head coaching vacancy in the league right now.

I think if I ever saw Jim Mora as head coach, I would spontaneously start to bleed from every orifice ala Conan O'Brien on SNL

Gregg Williams...I just don't really like Mora is all

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.

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.

that will be the day...

Jim Caldwell and Jim Mora Jr. could get promoted to HC of their current teams, if the rumors about Holmgren and Dungy retiring are true.

[BleedBurgundy]

What did Jim Mora Jr ever do that badly as a head coach other than an innocuous comment on a radio program about coaching in his home state?

I just don't think he would be a good fit...he ran a team with too many divas and thugs down in Atlanta...again...in my opinion

[BleedBurgundy]

I'm not saying he should be our coach, but I did think he got ran out of town a little prematurely. In retrospect, you can't argue that ATL wouldn't have been better off keeping Mora.
