That's usually the norm for Snyder. Gibbs sat down with Snyder for 8 hours before he agreed to come back. Rhodes and Fassel 9 hours each

It must be a process of elimination where the candidate who can actually make it through all of those hours of interviews is the one who wins the job...LOL! If I have to go through an interview longer than 4 hours, my mind starts to wonder off into never never land.

Seriously though, I think it's a good sign that Williams was called back for another interview and that it was another lengthy interview. I know last week I started having my doubts that Williams was going to be the guy, but I feel now that he should definitely have the position by Friday.

I think I heard during Dan Snyder's interview on the John Riggins Show, that he meets the coaches wives too, and tries to get to know them.

Make of that what you will ...

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Yeah the families all get to know each other, I think that's correct.

As I understand it, Snyder didn't really spend any time at all interviewing Spurrier (shocker I know), he just went on his gut feeling. And that backfired big time, so he's been extremely meticulous ever since.

I figure they may watch a few games and get the coaches breakdown of each play, key players and matchups.. Also, a racquetball match against Vinny Cerrato.

At least he learned a lesson.

I guess he doesn't always go back to his "old ways" after all.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

[quote=SmootSmack;407515]Hour 1-More of a "get to know you" session. Where do you see yourself in five years, what are your strengths and weaknesses, things of that nature

Hours 2 through 4-Spent on offense, defense, and special teams philosophies. One hour for each unit

Hour 5-break for lunch

Hour 6-Call LaVar, get his opinion on everything

Hour 7-Evaluate the coaching staff, changes Williams may/may not want to make

Hour 8-Make a phone call to Cody Boyd, beg him to come back

Hour 9-Discuss possible contract terms

Hour 10-Watch continuous loop of T.O. crying, point and laugh

Hour 11-Roll up a blunt, light it up, and read the "Question 3" thread

Hour 12-Dinner[/quote]


Don't lie. That's a workday at ESPN...especially the smoking part. :D

I thought I was reading the schedule on how one becomes a Mod...

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

You have to run out of questions after a while. One example of the questions could be " Quick stand on your head and call four plays in a row." I can't imagine a 12 hour interview. It does seem a little excesive.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Someone asked what was going through the coaching candidate's mind during a 12-hour interview. Here's one possibility:

"This funky little dude is famous for paying outrageously humongous salaries to coaches and players. Damn, I hope I get the opportunity to cash a couple of his $5M per annum paychecks. That's life-changing money!"

WTF? Doesn't he run a company, too?

Actually, I heard the first 7 hours are dedicated to the candidate coming up with various plausible justifications for Vinny Cerrato's job.

They probably discuss the future of all of the coaches on the staff and how they will handle each of their scenarios in the event of failure. Case and point, Al Saunders.
