WASHINGTON (AP) -With the rising star from the Super Bowl out of the running, the Washington Redskins spent Thursday planning their next move. Will their new coach be Jim Fassel? Ron Meeks? Steve Mariucci? Or how about another mystery candidate? After all, owner Dan Snyder has kept the process well under wraps since Joe Gibbs resigned Jan. 8. At least two contenders, Fassel and Pete Carroll, weren't known to be on Snyder's list until more than a week after their initial interviews. And, of course, it was |

| East Rutherford, NJ (Best E Casino) - Steve Spagnuolo will remain with the New York Giants as defensive coordinator of the Super Bowl champions after interviewing for the head coaching vacancy of the Washington Redskins earlier this week. Spagnuolo, in his first season as a defensive coordinator, devised a brilliant scheme that limited the high-powered New England Patriots to a season-low 14 points in Super Bowl XLII, and became a hot commodity for a head coaching job. Redskins owner Dan Snyder met with Spagnuol |
