MYSTERY CANDIDATE IN D.C.?

On Friday, we caught wind of rumors that there's a mystery candidate for the head-coaching vacancy in Atlanta. Now, Jay Glazer of FOX reports that a mystery candidate has emerged in Washington.

In our view, the term "mystery candidate" is usually code for a college head coach who's hoping not to disrupt his recruiting effort if he doesn't get the job. But after the team's experiences with Steve Spurrier, it's hard to think that owner Dan Snyder would want to give another college coach a try.

Glazer says that the Redskins' mystery candidate will be interviewed on Monday or Tuesday.

Also, Glazer reports that Seahawks assistant Jim Mora would have gotten the job if he had wanted it. Some have speculated that Mora withdrew his name from consideration after he learned that he wouldn't get the gig.
