Maybe not the decision, but he can affect the process.
I like Schwartz a lot too. He's that arshole we need in that building. I guess the Skins are set on running a 34. We requested an interview. I would revisit that. I actually am starting to like Schwartz more than Fangio. Not sure, but he appears younger, and I don't see him getting a HC job within the next 2 years. I think this team would do fine in a 43.
We're waiting on Fangio. He has several offers and wants to be a head coach in the near future. He is worried his reputation and head coaching chances could take a hit if he comes to D.C. and the defense plays poorly due to the lack of talent on the roster.
Fangio is till the Skins top choice and they feel they can wait on him because they have Barry in pocket. Skins are also a little worried about hiring Fangio, getting his system in place and then losing him in 12 months to a head coaching gig somewhere.
About 20 to 30% chance he is our next DC.

I am not a big fan of Chris Russell, especially for his love of Haslett, but he is right on here.
Why would we hire Fangio if he would leave in 12 months and take his staff with him.
We probably have to move on from him and find a young DC that is willing to stick around for a few years. One that can bring innovation and motivation to this unit.
Too bad. Fangio is one of the best.
For head coaching positions you can't refuse

Take it as a grain of salt. Same guy reported Skins hired Joe Barry, then immediately backed away from statement.
