ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The group that monitors the Rooney Rule confirms the Washington Redskins have interviewed one of the team’s assistants for the head coaching position.
Fritz Pollard Alliance chairman John Wooten said Monday that secondary coach Jerry Gray interviewed with owner Dan Snyder for the job currently held by Jim Zorn.
Wooten said the interview satisfies the Rooney Rule that requires teams to talk to a minority candidate when filling a head coaching position. Wooten said it didn’t matter that the job is not yet vacant.
The news reaffirms the expectation Snyder will fire Zorn next week and replace him quickly. Former Denver coach Mike Shanahan is considered the favorite to get the job.
The Redskins are 4-11 with one game to play.
