Can't find links, but believe others were contacted before Gruden and turned Skins down. Closest I found was link alluding "far and wide" search.
Jay Gruden next coach of Washington Redskins - NFL.com
Hard to copy and paste on this tablet, but several contacts with skins and unusually long term contract to bring Gruden in. I know it's conjecture one way or the other, but I guarantee you prior conversations and begging by the skins was done.

It's nonsense to think the skins were desirable for a HC with Snyder and Allen in charge. McC came later. Even now, Snyder's history is not encouraging.
