Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is set to interview Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks again according to the Washington Post.
A day after assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams, who was once under consideration to replace Joe Gibbs, left the organization, the Redskins finalized plans for another session with Meeks, who runs the Colts’ defense, a source close to the search said. Owner Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, executive vice president of football operations, are expected to meet with Meeks in Indianapolis.
Only a year ago, several teams interviewed San Francisco 49ers’ assistant head coach Mike Singletary for their vacant head coaching positions. Rumor has it that Falcons owner Arthur Blank loved Singletary last year, but the team didn’t even bring him in for an interview this year. Rex Ryan was the Chargers’ second choice after Norv Turner last year, but now it looks like he’s heading back to Baltimore after the Falcons and Dolphins passed on him for their head coaching vacancies.
So what gives? Obviously I’m not in the know, but how are Meeks, Mike Smith (Atlanta’s new head coach), John Harbaugh (Baltimore’s new head coach) and Tony Soprano (Miami’s new head coach) better candidates than Singletary and Ryan? Nothing against those coaches, but since 2003, the Ravens’ defense hasn’t finished lower than sixth under Ryan. And Singletary has been highly praised for his work with Defensive Rookie of the Year Patrick Willis, as well as being a great motivator.
What am I missing?
