BillnutinHouston Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Casserly just reported this on the NFL Today. Stealth interview I guess. Casserly also reported that the Seahawks offered Dungy the President's job, but he turned it down. Casserly said if Dungy would have taken the job he was planning to hire Leslie Frazier as his HC.

drewfla Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Beat me to it. No mention of Frazier except for the tidbit that when Dungy was considering Seattle GM job he wanted to hire Frazier as his head coach. He definitely seems to have the current momentum for our gig. I'm frankly hoping Grimm isn't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we offered the job to a College HC who has a losing record and his only real NFL Exp outside of being an average QB is a couple years as a QB coach? Holy **** Ralph, Russ and Nix have no damn clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Because we all know that no other coach has ever turned down a coaching offer from an NFL team. Let's just wallow in our own insecurities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm sure this is true. It was just reported that they offered Weis the job, but he chose to go to KC instead. Maybe it was KFC...I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 But we do know no other team has been turned down by every single candidate except for one. Is anyone willing to take this job? I'm hoping Frazier will take it if/when we offer the only person we interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Really? It is common? Name 3 examples. Off the top of my head I know Parcells turned down Tampa Bay at least once, Jason Garrett has turned down a few teams recently, Cowher turned down the Jets and the Skins, and Belichick turned down the Jets. I'll see if I can find more. Apparently Pete Carroll turned down the Skins in 2008. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...9/SPT8UNQDO.DTL Not a HC but Scott Pioli declined to interview to become the NYG GM in 2007 http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...g-roundup_x.htm Scott Sarkisian turned down the Raiders before they hired Lane Kiffin http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...SPGUNNNBCD1.DTL No link but Sean Payton turned down the Raiders a few years ago. Mike Holmgren turned down Arizona and the Jets before becoming the GB HC. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...SPG9IH42CF1.DTL Gregg Williams declined to interview with Houston, KC, STL, and Minnesota in 2004 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6010300765.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 It's funny how the collective intelligence just gets lower and lower around here. This is as true as Cowher being a done deal. Stop supporting the media making stuff up because they heard it from another reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
