Possible move on Garrett?
 

[URL="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2008/01/jim_schwartz.html"]Redskins to Meet With Jim Schwartz - Redskins Insider[/URL]

-Possible theory on the Schwartz interview-

What about this...in Snyder's skewed thinking that to keep continuity on the team that we hire Schwartz as Def-Coor, and then hire Jason Garrett away from the Cowboys as head coach, thus dealing a blow to the most hated Cowboys. The hiring of Schwartz in Snyder's twisted thinking would maintain the continuity of the defense by having a coordinator in the same mold as Gregg Williams, thus backing his statements at the Gibbs resignation conference.

Just a thought...and a stretch at that...but I thought that since the first person was from a team that just got eliminated that the Skins were looking at active playoff coaches for potential interviews.

That and it's weird that they are interviewing someone that essentially is Gregg Williams Lite when the original is in the building.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I still can't figure out why Schwartz would be interested in a lateral move when he's a viable head coaching candidate in Baltimore, Miami, and Atlanta.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

That seems like a lot of conjecture and little substance. I've seen similar theories begin here on the warpath...

Just a guess but I think you can scratch Schwartz off the Baltimore and Miami list.

And who in there right mind would take Atlanta?

This is JLC's theory or yours? I didn't see it on Insider

It's definitely the poster's threory. JLC said all indications were that this was a HC interview with Schwartz.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

You can't tell me that this wouldn't be a Snyder type of move. Especially since any hire that is not Gregg Williams means that he is going to hit the road. If he leaves that would open the volitility gates and unfortunately it looks as if its going that way.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I think we're greatly exaggerating the situation here. Hiring Schwartz or any other outsider doesn't automatically mean Armageddon. The way some people are talking a swarm of locusts is about to descend upon FedExField.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

as much as i don't think Greg Williams is head coach material, he seems to be the best choice for the skins. continuity means everything in today's nfl. as for Schwartz, nothing has been confirmed. i really don't see the reasoning behind it. unless Williams would like him as HIS defensive coordinator

Jason Garrett=Norv 2.0


Sorry, had to be done.

Do you have proof?

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I don't want Garrett so much as I don't want him back on the Cowboys. I think Romo is a product of his system and Owens ability.

Based on what?

Sounds a little premature to make that call.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I'd be willing to give Jason Garrett a try.

I think it's more Owens ability than anything else. The Cowboy offense wasn't exactly a juggernaut the last game of the season without him.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I have a feeling that you may end up seeing about 8 people get interviewed...and don't be surprised to see Mike Holmgren on the list.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I don't want anything from the Cowboys. The locust will descend upon fedex if GW isn't hired as the next head coach.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

Can't believe anybody here would actually be ok w/Jason Garrett in B&G. Unlike Norv, this dude has been a cowboy lifer, from player to coach (actually I think he coached somewhere else along the way, but you get the point).

I don't know enough about Garrett, never even heard him speak, but I get the impression he's a kind of passive guy that might be most comfortable behind the scenes. Let the comparisons to Norv begin, but don't bring him here!

He was QB coach in Miami last season.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

Like I said in the other thread we will probably have 5 to 10 threads on who could be our next HC. No one really knows right now except for Snyder and Gibbs and if it is GW they may have given him that back room node but they cannot say until after they interview some other coaches.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

in a perfect world, Greg will be the head coach, keep Al as o-coord and hire schwartz as the D-cord.

Definately think, one of the key offseason moves will be keeping Buges. This guy has done so much with the O-line and the reserve o-lineman. Look at what he did when all 5 were healthy last year, incredible. we were the 5th ranked o line in the NFL. a back up RB had all most 1200 yards, and this year having 3rd string tackle, 2nd string RG and center missed a few games. incredible job by buges!!

Hail to that. People are way too amped up over this.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

My theory is that GW already has the nod and interviewing all others is just paying lip service to the process. don't forget the rooney rule.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

it,s my guess that i will let it run it,s course and hope that synder goes thru it all and takes his time and get the right guy for the redskins...

your right it,s already been about 10 threads on it seems.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I don't see Garrett coming in with Al Saunders here.

On another note, has anyone thought that perhaps GW doesn't want the head coaching job. Maybe he has aspirations elsewhere and Snyder knows that.

I dunno, it's going to be intereting to see how this thing shakes out. I hope there isn't too much change though, because that would set back the team after Gibbs has restored at least a little bit of continuity.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

What exactly has Jason Garrett done? How long has he been coaching at all? 2 seasons right? He may be an up and coming talented O coordinator but what sais he's ready to coach. I don't get the love fest over him. He did a great job in Dallas this year, but a lot of o coordinators could have been successful w/ Dallas's talent. The guy needs to coach another couple years and then give it a try. Put him on the Dolphins and see what happens. I think the NFL too quickly picks their "flavor of the month." He may become a great coach who knows, but spend a couple years in coaching before we nominate him the next great thing.

I don't want another boyz guy. Period.

As much as I like Garrett I think your right. He and Saunders won't mesh together either!!! I just hope that Snyder makes the right decision.

fair enough, but I think fans have earned a right to be VERY skeptical of regime change...so far, so bad...

People seem to forget Parcells built the Cowboys.

It is implied that if Garrett comes in as head coach then Saunders will be unemployed. Whether they mesh or not will never come up.

I'm not sold on Garrett but I don't like the Cowboys doing well with him as OC. I almost hope the Skins hire him and sabotage the boys by making sure he doesn't come back as their OC.

Hopefully Parcells can hire Garrett so we don't have to worry about it.

Isn't this Garretts first season at this position? If so I really don't think he has much to do with Romo's success. Plus Romo's season this year seemed to parallel last year. Great early on and then fading at the end.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

TO has made a lot of offensive coordinators look pretty darn good. Give Garrett 5 or 6 more years of coaching/coodinating nad let's see what kind of genius he is.

Re: Possible move on Garrett?
 

I think Joe Theisman said it best, a lifetime Cowboy is not a good hire for the Redskins. The way I see it, the guys in demand, so its not like he needs he Redskins to offer him a job. Thats the crazy thing, he probably doesn't even want to coach the Redskins, and I'm willing to bet that Synder wouldn't be to crazy about handing over "Cowher" money to a guy at Garrets level. Part of the reason you hire young coordinators as head coaches is so the team can get them at discount.
