What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Snyder's interviews reportedly can go on for 10-12 hours which leaves me wondering... what in the hell goes on during these marathon interview sessions?

I once had a 4 hour interview for a job, but it was split up between several different groups of people, but either way it was very mentally draining.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during a Snyder interview.

They must go top to bottom throughout the entire organization - scouts to players to coaches, individually. That's the only reason I would think it could possibly last that long.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

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

LOL nice

Maybe they add in a little Madden, they probably sim through some seasons so Snyder can see how GW runs a franchise. You know the important things, like how much GW charges for hot dogs and foam fingers.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Well yeah, they usually order in burgers from Johnny Rockets and have dinner while playing Madden. Sometimes it goes into the 13th hour

HILARIOUS!!! You forgot during the 12th hour, watching film of Ramsey to consider bringing him back....and possibly Jeff George too.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Ridiculous, if anyone thinks that it will take only one hour to read the "Question 3" thread.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

LOL - Hilarious thread.

That is a really, really long interview. I imagine there's discussion of coaching philosophy, allowing the coach to present how he envisions running the team. Then the part that probably takes so long is the coach explains what changes he'd like to make, and Danny and Vinny discuss with him how they can fit that into the way they do things. For Williams, there will probably be significant back-and-forth about player acquisition and what would be expected of Gregg.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

Lol great stuff SS.

But seriously, I am assuming it is alot of about philosophy and putting the prospective in various situations and seeing what they would do.

It probably also consists of showing the "perks" of working with Danny, and I am guessing there are lunch and dinner breaks to develop a personal relationship.

You've done it again SmootSmack! :)

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

cant blame the guy for trying to get it right. but everyone knows Snyder always goes to the extreme. a 12 hour interview? thats just crazy

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

what is going through the guys head while being interviewed?

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

I just saw on NFL network that [SIZE=2]Gregg Williams went through another 8 hour interview with Snyder on Saturday...[/SIZE]

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

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

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

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.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

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.

Re: What goes on during a 12 hour interview?
 

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.

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

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.
