With the next round of HC interviews, when do you think the SKINS hire the new HC.

Yeah I don't see the need to rush it either. Obviously you want someone in place soon so they can begin working on the offseason stuff. Seems like GW is pretty much a lock at this point.

You don't meet with a guy 4 times unless there's some pretty serious interest there.

Knowing that, Snyder is just feeling things out, seeing who's out there, doing some networking perhaps, and maybe eyeballing some possible new assistants and/or front office folks.

I think its a bad sign that DS keeps meeting with GW. I get the feeling that DS does not really want GW but keeps bringing him in in an attempt to convince himself that GW is the guy even though he does not want him.

Or they are running over different senarios for posable assisstants to take his place or other people who may not be staying with the team if GW does become the coach.

I'm shocked you would look at things that way.

I believe if Snyder had other plans and wasn't targeting GW, why would he waste his time with 4 interviews?

He's been spending a ton of time with him, Snyder didn't become a successful businessman by not trusting his gut. I just can't imagine someone like him wasting his time on something that he didn't believe in 100%.

Would you meet with a potential employee 4 times just to convince yourself he's the right person?? I know I wouldn't... in fact I would know pretty early on whether that person was a serious candidate or not.

Why are they taking so much time though? He's been around GW for 4 years. I would bet that something isn't going as planned and this could be a bad sign.

They could be working out how much involvement GW would have in personnel matters, who they are going to keep on the coaching staff as well as finding potential replacements. I'd imagine there could be a ton of stuff to work through. Since getting burned by Spurrier Snyder has taken on a meticulous and careful approach to finding new coaches and this seems to fall in line with that.

I just don't see why the would continue to meet if Williams wasn't a serious candidate.

I'm not saying GW isnt a serious candidate, he is. I am saying that something in DS's gut is telling him GW isnt the guy and he keeps having these meetings trying to convince himself otherwise.

I agree.....Plus it could be that Snyder is also thinking long term in the event he does hand the reins to Williams. He could be building bridges to the future in the event things do not work out for Williams. If he does get the job I'm interested in seeing the length of the contract. I'm sure Snyder will make the right decision, and he's taking this vacant opportunity to gather as much information as possible for future reference.

Daniel Snyder has probably made up his mind as to who his head coach is going to be, and that guy is Gregg Williams. These other interviews are to "get to know" Williams better, to talk football philosophy, and to work out fine details in regards to Williams' contract and who he wants on his coaching staff. Some of you may think this can all be worked out in one lengthy session, but I'd rather these men take as long as possible to make the right decisions.

Interviewing these other candidates are also vital, because you always keep a backup plan or two, in case the first guy doesn't workout. You also look for several other things. Such as possible future assistant coaches (you know Snyder can be persausive) and also to scout other teams.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Snyder and Williams are "interviewing" this much. I'd also add that the language of "third or fourth" interview is to stay within the rules of keeping the job "open" until the Rooney Rule is satisfied. Otherwise, Williams would be hired officially by now, and these other "interviews" would be nothing more than meetings.
