ESPN: Redskins to Interview G. Williams Today

Yes!
Thank You!
He'll get the job for sure

Interesting, considering the time line set by JLC. I hope the Colts lose so we can get this squared away as soon as possible.

Do you think this means anything about GW's status as front runner since he was supposed to be the last interview?

SmootSmack,

You mentioned in another thread that there might be a certain issue that would keep Williams from getting the job. Do you think this issue might have been cleared up? I really thought Gregg wouldn't get his interview until a week down the road.

Yes!

why do you say this? I've seen alot weirder things from the skins since Snyder took over

even if Snyder decides he is the guy its going to be weeks till the choice is made public due to the Rooney rule possibilities being on the colts. Thats what really sucks. I hope if Snyder does want Williams he at least gives him an idea he is the guy instead of having him be in limbo until the colts are knocked out

Haven't heard anything new. But I imagine it is close to being resolved. i've been kind of out of the loop since yesterday morning. Had actual work to do :)

Does the Rooney rule apply if they hire within the organization? Do they have to waste peoples time on an interview if GW is the guy (which IMO he is the guy NO DOUBT that will end up being our next Head Coach), on a minority interview?

Come on Smooty! This is much bigger than your livelihood...LOL! ;)

I would love to be a fly on the wall during the interview process.

I believe the rule does apply regardless. At my workplace, if my boss offers me a promotion, they actually have to come up with a title (ie I'd get promoted from software specialist to senior software specialist) and they have to advertise for it and interview x number of candidates. It's probably the same thing. The only thing I wonder about is if Gibbs had stepped down midseason and Gregg Williams had taken over as coach, would there have been an interview process at the end of the season to make everything "legal"?
