It was just reported on ESPN news, anyone else see that? I'll take Meeks over Fassel anyday

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up. A little birdie told me that the Redskins flew out to Indianapolis yesterday afternoon so...the plot thickens

But what's the advantage of Meeks over Fassel?

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

there is none...I'm so numb from all of this...it might just be due to the outrage over fassel...which shows not only does Snyder make poor decisions, but that he has no spine

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

The timing of this just seems like a smokescreen, but what if Meeks really is the guy?

smokescreen for what? everyone else has a coach, its not like we are hiding who we are going to draft so no one takes that guy.

He's not going to fly Meeks in for no reason though. They want something from him, but I'm not sold that it's being the next head coach.

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Not he best candidate from what I can tell. His resume is not all that impressive, and a 53 its not ike your taking a chance on him dispite his lack of stats because he is a younger guy. We'll see, but Id be very surprised if he was named HC.

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

It's a cover your ass interview. DS is making it seem like he's giving these other guys a chance, in the end he'll hire Fassel (no surprise here) because he'll say he was the most qualified of all candidates.

I thought maybe DB coach in the event Gray leaves, but a) all indications are Gray is staying and b) that'd be quite a demotion for Meeks

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Saw it and Meeks over Fassel also

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Could be one of the "and more" candidates Zorn alluded to...

I mentioned in the "Who do you want now" thread that Meeks would be an excellent long term choice for coach, his resume may not be stellar, but impressive none the less. Wherever he's been as a position coach, the position improved dramatically.

Remember when Bobby Bethard was about to hire Joe Gibbs, Mr. Cooke asked him, "Who the hell is Joe Gibbs? A young unknown, with no HC experience who went on to have a HOF career. I don't know what Meeks' chances are of coming here as coach, but he would be an excellent choice, and great for the city of Washington, DC.

I would be very happy with Meeks. Look at the Indy D over the last few years under his tutelage.

I hate to tell you but it won't be Meeks or anyone besides Fassel. Read John Clayton's Link, the hints are there. We are all in denial.

Here's the link:

He doesn't provide an explanation for the second Meeks interview. I wonder if he's just not acknowledging Meeks as a valid candidate or if he knows something else.

I read your post in another thread expressing your confident belief in Fassel being our next HC. You could very well be right, but Ron Meeks would be a great choice whether he gets the position or not.

I don't disagree, I'm not a Fassel supporter. You don't assemble a staff and tell a potential coaching candidate, "here's the staff we built for you", now go get 'em!! That's what I'm getting at.

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Why would Meeks be a good HC? I know that Indy's D isn't that bad but what else about him makes people think that he can be a HC? Just curious I really don't know a lot about the guy.

Worked for Dallas.

Re: Meeks to get second interview tuesday, sorry no link
 

Ok after looking up meeks on the Colts official web site I'm for him. He used to be a Skins coach. Sorta promoting with in except we let him get seasoned first.

[QUOTE=skinsguy;413913]Worked for Dallas.[/QUOTE]

Exactly!! End result was Wade Phillips, ours is fassel (RETREADS). I don't think any young up and coming coach whether it's Meeks, Spagnuolo, Ryan, Schwartz is going to agree with this type of situation.

Dallas had a great season under Phillips. And, I do believe a young upcoming coach would agree to the situation because it makes it easier on them. They don't have to round up a coaching staff, one is already set in place. If the coaching staff isn't working, of course the guy can make a change, but if I was an assistant coach in the NFL and was given the opportunity to become a first time head coach, I'd love to know that there was a coaching staff set in place.

I don't know about the rest of the coaches, but Joe Gibbs already had Richie Petitbone set to run the defense when he first became HC.

Didn't the Dolphins hire a few coaches this year (though not the coordinators) before hiring Sparano as head coach?
