And here’s the report from Mark Maske of the Washington post:
"The Redskins did not seek permission, at least at this point, to interview fellow Bengals assistant Hue Jackson, according to the person with knowledge of the deliberations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither team confirmed the requests publicly. It is not clear if Gruden and Zimmer have agreed to interview with the Redskins and, if so, when the interviews will occur."
