ASHBURN — Urban Meyer didn’t have to do much to put his name into the thick of the Redskins’ coaching search.
All it took, it turns out, was for Meyer to attend a game at FedEx Field and sit in owner Dan Snyder’s suite.
Meyer’s presence at Washington’s 37-27 loss Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles fueled speculation the former Ohio State coach is a candidate to become the Redskins’ next coach. This was the same man, after all, who publicly admitted weeks earlier to “absolutely” having interest in coaching the Dallas Cowboys. If Meyer is interested in the NFL, then perhaps he’s considering the Redskins, as well.
