Now, rumor has it Gruden has spoken to someone off record and not associated with the Skins about how he might like the job with the Skins.
If I was DS I would fire VC or completely remove him from having anything to do with the Skins as of today. Do a search of available candidates and candidates who are currently with other teams if available. Like Poilin or whoever. If I had to wait till seasons end to conduct certain interviews then so be it and bring in the best I could and pay him well. Give the GM some ideas as to who you might like as HC but make sure everyone and all candidates know I am backing the F-off. Allowing the GM to run the team.
With that said it might, might open up a few doors into coach's that have been hesitant to come to Washington.
Hopefully after Mon. night, which I can't wait for, VC and Zorn get canned and DS can start talking to viable candidates. but I wouldn't bring them in till seasons end. My feeling is you bring them in now and people/fans get a misconception and expect the team to start winning. If they don't I could see fans wishing DS to fire the new HC. I'd name an interim HC and keep conducting interviews until seasons end with my new GM.

The Redskins may want the big name coaches but remember they have to abide by the NFL Rooney Rule which they have to interview a minorty coaching canadiate. I think Greg Blache or Jerry Gray take over as interim coach.
