ESPN News: Ron Meeks to get second interview Tuesday.Updated: Reid confirms.(Merged)

[Hitman#21]

So if we hire Meeks, that means Snyder is a __________

What?

Are we still supposed to hate him? :whoknows:

Ha.....Id love to see the reaction if Meeks becomes our Head Coach.

[Hitman#21]

He isn't going to name anybody this week, so it makes sense to do 2nd interviews with candidates he was impressed with, such as Meeks and Schwartz. I'm sure given how we hear the 1st interview went, we'll interview Schwartz again too. Clayton did say 3/4 HC candidates approved of this staff of coordinators, so it's still open at this point.

So Gregg was the one that didint approve!?

[Skins24]

Did anyone expect this? I wouldnt mind Meeks at all.

Most real reports have stated that BOTH Meeks and Fassel remain the front runners, so this isn't totally unexpected.

With Dungy making the decision to stay in Indy, this certainly isn't surprising.

[Blackest Eyes]

Yeah I would rather have Meeks over Fassel for sure.

[skinsfan3880]

quite possibly?????

[ashsra]

I just can't see how it wouldn't be Fassel. Meeks obviously comes from the Tampa 2 defense of Tony Duny, while I'm assuming Blache is 46 guy. Does anybody know what defense Blache ran in Chicago?

Ok, i just thought we would interview Spags and maybe Mcdaniels, i diidnt think that Meeks was a frontruner, and btw most reports on this search have been completly wrong...

Plus, it was rumored that Caldwell is Dungy's heir apparent.

[Tom [Giants fan]]

Hire him, hire him now!! Before it is too late!!!

True true but is he higher on Dan's list than Scwartz?

Thats somehting i wish to know.....

[NicholSkin]

Wonder how he feels about having coordinators in place.

I'm tired of this.

[mistertim]

I'll take Meeks any day over Fossil. I really hope it happens.

[The Full Monty]

I'd take Meeks over Fassel, that's for sure.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Meeks should've gotten a head coaching job a long time ago - I really think he deserved it after Indy's defense helped get them in the Super Bowl, especially. Indy plays in a tough division and his hiring here would really help get this team in the right direction.

Wasn't Meeks the 3rd or 4th interview? I know Schwartz was first, with Fassel the mystery guy 2nd. GW was 3rd if I'm correct, then Meeks. Since GW dropped out, with Fassel already accounted for, perhaps they interview Schwartz and Meeks again. I'm sure GW was the one not approving of the OC of Zorn, seeing how Saunders and Williams were both released at the same time.

[CommishDC]

I still say Schwartz ....why would Williams be interviewing in Tennessee?

:laugh: Tom you're just bored waiting for a week from today ... betcha can't wait

[cactitle]

Meeks!!!!!!!

[skinsfan3880]

heres something i gathered by reading between the lines on fassels feeling used comment.

Dan interviewed both meeks and schwartz who are probably his picks to be H.C. on hearing names that he wasnt prepared for he tapped someone he tapped before for a interview (fassell) J.F. probably gave the same review of Zorn that had been previously uttered by other interviews. therfore zorn gets the offer. zorn most likely popped up in the mora interview as well.

blache also can be proven by this theroy as the skins will want a continuity link(i swear when all this is over if i hear that word again i will scream) between g.w.s succsessful d and the new d's of either schwartz or meeks.

[hailtotheskins69]

I would love to have Ron Meeks over Jim Fassel. He would probably be my number 1 pick for the HC.

Thanks for clearing that up.....

[Uno Boss]

This would be a smart hire...

We don't need an offensive head coach to come in and second guess Zorn the same way Gibbs did saunders

Aside from that

Meeks specialty is DB's

which would complete our defensive staff because we kept Blache (O line coach)

we kept Kirk Olivadati (linebackers), and Meeks could do alot of work with the DB's to balance things out..

Look at the production he got out of small time guys like Bathea a Howard university grad for gods sake..

Bob sanders turned into a beast under him and maybe he could do the same with Landry..

I'm jumping on the Meeks 08 wagon!!!!

[praise_gibbs]

Only The Dan would know that. According to reports, Fassel is on tope of the list.. then, it is reported that Meeks is getting his second interview.

It is all guess work from us fans and media. The only one who knows who he will hire is Snyder. And given all of these random interviews.. maybe even HE doesn't know. :whoknows:

[Jumbo]

Yeh, I mentioned liking meeks a few days ago but kinda felt he was dropping down, don't know why. Fassel is not liked by many people here.

He reminds me of Wade.

[Mooka]

I don't know about Meeks... his defensive philosophy seems to be opposite of what Blache likes to do. Maybe it was more of a personnel thing because they had Freeney and Mathis on the ends.
