Okay, Alex, but what would you suggest instead? The Skins wanted Shanny. Shanny wanted the Skins. Would it have been better if they kept their mutual interest quiet and gone through the charade of making believe the team was interested in a minority coach? The result is the same.
@DennyCrane: The idea is that you hold non-sham interviews with a bunch of candidates and then, MAYBE, you meet with one who impresses you more than a guy who was an ok GM for the Bucs. You can still hire the one who was an OK GM for the Bucs after the process, if he is still your favorite, but put forth the actual effort!
@Pareene: He also ran the Raiders during the Gruden years and helped build a Super Bowl team there which is a Herculean feat considering the ownership.
You assume that the Redskins held sham interviews. ASSUME. The truth is, you don't know who they interviewed or what their real intentions were.
It's equally plausible that they brought in every race under the sun and decided they wanted an uppercrust pasty to run the shop.
If it's any consolation, Shanahan has a bitchin' tanning bed.
@allyzay: I doubt Snyder put an honest effort into finding a minority candidate too. That's just based on my preconceived notions about him.
Until it comes out that he interviewed a couple of Mexicans outside the Home Depot and 3/4 of the Black Eyed Peas, my feeling is it's pointless to speculate.
If you don't practice you're never going to be able to accurately recreate the Three Amigos classic entrance. Tom is clearly the only professional here.

If the Cowoys are "America's Team" then they correlate well. Lots of promise, some talented people, a big, gaudy place to play in, lots of hot chicks, and disapointing for the last 10 years.Thanks for making mine a happy day. Go Giants!
@CumaeanSibyl: Yeah, it is preposterous, but it doesn't spoil anything about the movie even if you know that going into it. It's just so over-the-top cruel in so many ways that it kind of works. Put it this way -- it ain't "The Good Son."

Dan: The first time I set eyes on Joe Gibbs, I just got that old fashioned nostalgic feeling where I'd do anything to hire him.
Vinny: That's a special feeling, Dan.
