February 5-- One interview to go!
Steve Spagnuolo, defensive coordinator of the Super Bowl champion Giants will meet with owner Dan Snyder today (or at least that is expected).. Snyder is supposed to be at Redskin Park today for a 5PM news conference to honor the newly inducted Hall of Famers Art Monk and Darrell Green, so the interview process figures to go into Wednesday..
Patriots cherubic offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will not interview for the job..
So assuming Snyder does the same due dilligence with Spags then I expect no decision to come before Thursday, but I'm expecting a decision to be made and possibly, if contractual negotiations go well, a new coach by the weekend..
So lets give some odds again: Steve Mariucci 30%, he just fits, west coast O, knows Vinny, knows Blatche, has a "Redskin Candidate" resume and name and won't be roundly criticized if he gets the job.. Spgas 30%, after shutting down the best offense ever to win an unlikely championship, it's hard not to think he's the right guy for the job.. He also has intimate knowledge of both the Eagles and Giants which makes him attractive, no one says a bad word about him, yet..
Jim Fassel 20%, the guy who was in line but then everyone in Washington acted as if Snyder about the give the keys to the car to OJ..
Ron Meeks 19%, Snyder went out of his way to say how much he likes Meeks to my man Paul Woody over the weekend so to dismiss him would be foolish.. He has coached here before, he has had success in Indy helping an undersized D become relevent, and well two interviews has to mean something..
1%, Bill Cowher/Pete Carroll/The Ghost of Paul Halas/or just someone we haven't heard about..
OK men

I miss reading Paul Woody living on the West Coast these days but that man tells it like it is about the 'Skins & I appreciate that. I would love to hear his take on the present coaching search.
