Um, I thought Mooch was offered the job just after Zorn was picked up as OC and Mooch said "no thanks". Basically said he was taking his name out of contention. Maybe it was because of the shell game Cerrato was playing forcing an OC on someone but still he refused the job. I also don't think he would handle Snyder very well or our prima dona's. We need some one who is a disciplinarian. Someone strong willed. Definitly not a players type HC who will simpathize and coddle our players.

I don't remember Mooch being offered the job (or even interviewing for it), but i suppose its possible. No one with any sense would coach a team that had already picked its entire coaching staff. The exception would be Fassel, who reportedly recommended Zorn as OC. (And as much as I dislike Fassel, i have no doubts that this team would be in a better position than it is now if he had been hired.) Anyway, I'd think Mooch would go anywhere if he hiring process was "normal" and he'd get to pick his own staff.

I was pretty sure Mooch was brought in for an interview or pulled his name out of the hat prior to. No he was not offered the job. Several people were lined up for interviews and I think he was one of them.

Mariucci and Cerrato I believe are pretty tight...but anyway Mooch basically threw himself at the Redskins to interview with them for the Redskins job. Not so much to take the job (because he's really not interested in leaving the West Coast) but to stay relevant when it comes to talking about head coaches.

yeah i remember that. i think he was down in AZ for the superbowl doing tv network stuff and he was approached by the skins. of course we were approaching everybody then, which is understandable when your trying to put together a field of potential HCs.
