Mystery surrounds the Washington Redskins regardless of what happens during the team’s season-closing contest against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.
Interim head coach Bill Callahan doesn’t figure to be the long-term option as head coach and a whole host of options seem readily available depending on what team owner Dan Snyder wants to do.
Does he bring on someone like Urban Meyer? Bring on a veteran like Marvin Lewis? What about promoting from within with offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell?
All outsiders do know is Snyder has been hard at work considering changes and what direction to take the franchise. MMQB’s Albert Breer noted a report also echoed by JP Finlay:
More Redskins … Source: Owner Dan Snyder assembled a small circle of football people earlier in the season to help him with Washington’s search process. None of those people work for the team.
So he hasn’t done it alone, but those with the team aren’t involved. https://t.co/auKLmhMdqD

Not involving someone like Bruce Allen in these proceedings would seem to indicate a change will happen there too and it provides some reassurance that outsiders are at least getting to throw out their ideas.
Fans will find out what the first step of the process is Monday at what should be an interesting season-ending press conference.
