Steve Mariucci Declines to Say Whether He'll Coach the Washington Redskins

Former 49ers and Lions head coach Steve Mariucci has been rumored as a potential head coach of the Washington Redskins, and he is reportedly interested in getting back to coaching.

But he hasn't spoken publicly about the job, so I asked him today. He was at the Super Bowl media day in his role as an NFL Network commentator, so I asked him if he's going to coach the Redskins next year. He wouldn't answer, twice declining to say when I asked him directly if he's interested in the job.

My bet is that he is interested, especially if Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is interested in paying him the $5 million a year or so that the Lions have paid him for the last five years (Mariucci continued to collect on his five-year $25 million guaranteed contract even though he got fired midway through his third year). I have my doubts about whether he's really Snyder's top choice, though.......

(Steves free ticket is up, he's free to go out and get a real job now that the easy money has come to an end.)
