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

[darrell1106]

The good thing is that him and Marcus Washington have a history together. MW is a little older now but knows his abilities (trying to be as positive as possible).

I really like the thought of Ron Meeks here, it brings just enough of newness to the program (and fresh blood) and just enough of a Pedigree to get me excited. Fassel wouldn't give me that fuzzy feeling like Ron Meeks would.

someone who's been around Dungy for a few years couldn't be anything but good.

Meeks has done AMAZING things with secondaries. Everywhere he has gone, he has turned dreadful pass defenses into some of the leagues best. With such a big investment in Laron Landry, Meeks could be a great hire. With the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants evolving into great pass offenses he could be huge.

I would like the hire of Ron Meeks as Head Coach of the REDSKINS.

I know his name has been floated around before over the past 5yrs as a HC hire for other teams. If OC & DC are already in place it may not be a bad thing for a new HC.

Like alot have already said Meeks & others most likely were asked who they would hire as DC & OC. When Joe first came here back in the late 70s was Pettibone the DC ?

Jack Pardee & Pettibone I think played together under Allen.

Redskins' Snyder reportedly to interview Meeks again

Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Dan Snyder plans to take to the road in his quest to find a new coach for the Washington Redskins.

Candidates in Washington

The Redskins are the only remaining team with a head coaching vacancy. These are the candidates reportedly being considered:

Jim Fassel

The former Giants coach emerged in the past week as a serious candidate for the position. He has a 58-53-1 career record.

Ron Meeks

The Indianapolis Colts' defensive coordinator worked for one year in Washington during the 2000 season under Norv Turner.

Jim Schwartz

The Tennessee Titans' defensive coordinator took over for Williams when he left to become Buffalo's head coach in 2001.

The owner is scheduled to have another interview with Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks this week, a person familiar with the selection process told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Redskins have not publicly stated the names of any candidates.

The person said the interview was planned for Tuesday. Late Sunday, The Washington Post reported that the session had been rescheduled for Monday.

The person said the interview is set to take place in Indianapolis, the first time Snyder has left the Washington area to speak to a candidate. Nearly all of the sessions to date have been held at the owner's home in suburban Maryland.

Meeks, an assistant coach with the Redskins in 2000, first met with Snyder about the job on Jan. 17 and 18.

Meeks and former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel are the favorites to succeed Joe Gibbs, who resigned Jan. 8. Snyder also is interested in talking to Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after the Super Bowl.

The Redskins dismissed one candidate, assistant coach Gregg Williams, in a flurry of moves Saturday. Assistant Al Saunders was also released, and assistant Greg Blache was promoted to lead the defense.

Snyder also said Saturday that a hire was not planned until the Super Bowl was over, in part to keep from drawing attention away from the championship game. At the time, it appeared the Redskins would also not conduct any interviews during Super Bowl week, but the owner decided to make the plans for the follow-up session with Meeks.

If you arent the one writing the article, chances are you shouldnt bother posting it. ES is quick on the draw with posting information/links. If you do happen to sneak past Bubba or Hap...the others arent too far behind. I gave up along time ago trying to post "breaking news".:laugh: :logo: :2cents:

[thesecondquarter]

Lets see how many multi post it will be when they hire the new head coach.

I will go on record and predict no less than 10 threads started. 6 all at 1 time. 2 within the 1st hour, 1 3 or 4 hours later and at least 1 the entire next day with the SUPER MEGA MERGE stiky at the 1st sport.

Meeks! Meeks! Meeks! Meeks!

Tomorrow is the big day for my fellow Meeks supporters! Lets hope Coach Meeks knocks Snyders socks off with one hell of an interview. Lets hope Snyder sees what we all see, and that is Meeks is our guy. The guy we need to lead this team to the next level.

The way I see it? Ron Meeks does not need Washington. Washington NEEDS Ron Meeks.

Get the deal done, Danny! **** your boy Fassel and lets get a real coach.

Meeks in '08!
