The next coach of the Redskins (AP Photo)
Washington Examiner sports columnist Rick Snider is reporting that John Gruden tops Dan Snyder’s wish list for the next head coach of the Washington Redskins.
Jon Gruden appears to be the frontrunner in Dan Snyder's offseason search for his seventh coach in 11 seasons. Sources close to Snyder say he began considering options to replace coach Jim Zorn after losing to Detroit on Sept. 27; a victory that ended the Lions' 19-game losing streak…
Snyder has not contacted Gruden, say sources, but he believes the former Oakland-Tampa Bay coach might be the best fit among five Super Bowl winning coaches without jobs. Gruden currently is a Monday Night Football commentator who arrives in Washington for the Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles game on Oct. 26. Snyder and Gruden could meet during routine pregame research for the MNF program.
So it now appears it is a case of not if, but when Snyder will issue Zorn his walking papers. Will Zorn survive the season, or not last past the November 1 bye week?

Why is Vinny's job never ever in question? Why is he continously allowed to bring in subpar talent and never ever take any heat?
Skins Suck!
Interesting. Rich seems to think that next year is an uncapped year, no doubt. But that is far from being the case. There is plenty of time for the NFL and the NFLPA to get a deal done.
Once again Dan needs to look at NOT hiring Gruden. He had a super bowl win from a team built by Dungy and then disasembled by Gruden. Look at the history and why Gruden was let go. The players didn't like him. He's not going to build a group that will work together! Gruden is no Bill Cowher!
