Mariucci/Redskins
Former Lions coach Steve Mariucci , out of coaching since being fired with five games left in the 2005 season, has to be taken seriously as a candidate for the vacant job in Washington.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder plans to interview Mariucci on Wednesday, and Snyder likes personality and a high profile. Former Giants coach Jim Fassel remains Washington's top candidate, but no decision is expected until after Sunday's Super Bowl.
