What a shame that Dan Snyder has taken a once desirable job like HC of the Washington Redskins and made a mockery of it!!DEHog wrote:The sides began talking face-to-face last evening and Spagnuolo spent the night in a guest house on Snyder's property, as expected.
Man what goes on in that guest room ???
WASHINGTON -- Steve Spagnuolo's interview with the Washington Redskins turned into a marathon.
The architect of the defense that won the Super Bowl spent about 10 hours Wednesday meeting with owner Dan Snyder about the Redskins coaching vacancy, starting in the morning and continuing well into the evening.
That's on top of the 90 minutes the two spent on the phone Monday evening and the first face-to-face portion of the interview at Snyder's house Tuesday night. The talks ran late Tuesday, with the New York Giants defensive coordinator spending the night in a guesthouse on the owner's property, as other candidates have done during the team's monthlong search.
The talks were confirmed by two people familiar with the Redskins selection process who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has preferred to keep the details private.
The Giants, meanwhile, are reportedly ready to offer Spagnuolo a counter-offer if their defensive coordinator is offered the Redskins' head coaching job. Multiple New York-area newspapers reported that New York is willing to give Spagnuolo a significant pay raise in order to keep him with the team.
Snyder is known for holding long sessions with coaching candidates, with preliminary talks often exceeding 12 hours and follow-up meetings held later. The schedule with Spagnuolo is more compressed because the Redskins had to wait until after the Super Bowl to interview him.
Spagnuolo, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks and former Giants coach Jim Fassel are the three leading contenders to replace Joe Gibbs, who resigned Jan. 8. Snyder has met several times with both Meeks and Fassel.
The owner planned to consider his options and possibly make a decision Wednesday night. He has said he would like to have a coach in place by the end of the week.
Spagnuolo became a hot commodity during the Giants' championship run, which culminated with their 17-14 Super Bowl upset of the New England Patriots.

AsI've said, it will be the first one who says "yes" and that is usually a coach who was fired and has been out of work for a few years
True, but I'm quite sure Fassel said "yes" a loooong time ago.

You don't have to LOVE the owner to work with him. There are a few people who can write their own ticket and are too Prima donna to work with someone they don't love, but this ongoing nonsense that business people aren't going to come here because they weren't picked first or given the job right away or they don't think Danny's the greatest boss in the world are just naive, wrong and totally missing the reality of the search. There are 32 NFL head coach jobs and hundreds of viable candidates.
If anyone wants to keep lamenting that Danny's actually working hard to pick the right guy and not just jumping at the first guy popular in the public domain then go ahead and waste your time. You haven't hit an insight. You are missing the boat. Most of this discussion is just foolish nonsense.

Here we go again with the Snyder spends...
He is working "hard" because he does not have the slightest clue and he is not COMPETENT enough to diagnose his own INCOMPETENCE to hire a good HC.KazooSkinsFan wrote:If anyone wants to keep lamenting that Danny's actually working hard to pick the right guy and not just jumping at the first guy popular in the public domain then go ahead and waste your time.
He feels he ALREADY is. He hired all the assistants. He has total control over hirings and firings. He is just looking for a guy who walks on the sidelines (and take the fall when the season goes to the dogs).Chris Luva Luva wrote:I'm on record as saying I want Snyder as the HC.

we are now in the Desperate Coach mode - instead of selecting from a number of applicants we are now down to who is desperate enough to take this job with the Danny Clown and his bozo sidekick?

We're not interviewing people who have backbones. Hence the departure of Gregg Williams. Yes-men only.
