But I think if it's not Shanahan. You might look at some other choices such as Shanahan's son, Marty's son, Mike Zimmer, and Leslie Frazier. But at this point we're getting into like Plan J

The first college name that popped into my head wasn't actually Carroll, it was Nick Saban. Maybe just due to his recent job hopping.

Is Billick still a gut feeling to you? I definitely would not mind that.

What about Cowher? Seems like there's been NO talk of him.

The whole expect a second big news out of Redskins Park this week in a way makes me think that we didn't land something that we were supposed to... but I'm not so sure that it was Shanahan, I'm suspecting Doug Williams. Either way it makes more sense to wait for the season to end.

Gut feeling on Billick.

Second big news? What are you referring to?

Gibbs was a shocker, nobody saw Marty coming, and even the Vinny/Allen drama last week came as a surprise. The Shanahan rumors almost seem too obvious. I think something else is cooking.

There definitely is. There always is. I don't know that Vinny/Allen was a total shock. But even the most inside of insiders were completely thrown off by Gibbs and Marty.

I mean I think Shanahan is the most likely right now, but there's absolutely a mystery candidate out there.

have you heard this for sure or are you just going by the fact that there always is?

No I'm just going off of past history.

I agree and my gut tells me it's gruden.

I vote for Grimm. I know my vote does not count. Would love to see Gregg come back too.

I was watching the games yesterday when they announced on TV that the Redskins interviewed Greg Blache a few days ago about the Head Coaching Position, thereby satisfying the Rooney Rule, and leaving the Skins to sign whoever they want.

One guy yesterday said that Jim Zorn has likely been told, which proves just how classy of a guy he is to still stay here....

Not sure if it's class or if he just wants a paycheck. Still, it's a tough spot for him and the rest of the staff to be in, no doubt.

I wouldn't discount Gregg Williams as Snyder's Plan B if he's been rebuffed by Snyder, Cowher, Gruden, etc. If I remember correctly, two years ago Snyder wanted Williams, but Vinny and Williams wouldn't work together and Snyder opted to keep Vinny. Now that Vinny's gone, there's no obstacle to Williams returning.

In addition to the names already mentioned, I think Charlie Weiss and Mike Holmgren are possibilities. I really think the chances of Shanahan coming here are slimmer than most people think.

Holmgren to the Browns is all but official. I don't think Weis was ever a serious candidate (but I guess you never know)

If I had to bet I would say Shanahan is still the top choice... seems to be too many reliable sources backing that up.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I agree Shanahan is Snyder's top choice... just everything i've read indicates the feeling is not mutual. So i beleive the mystery candidate is a "Plan B" with enough pizzaz to make skins fans forget all about Shanahan.

Papa John for head coach?? I do love the cheesy bread.
