Former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel interviewed for the Washington Redskins' vacancy Thursday, meeting with owner Dan Snyder in San Francisco.
Snyder and Fassel had dinner and planned to meet again Friday, according to Fassel's agent, Steve Rosner.
Although Snyder is known for working deals quickly, Rosner said Fassel intended to keep to a schedule that includes interviews with the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday and with the Chicago Bears on Monday and Tuesday.

Fassel had traveled to California to watch his son play for Boston College in
the San Francisco Bowl on New Year's Eve.
Fassel is one of three top candidates for the Redskins' job, and Snyder could possibly meet with all three during his West Coast trip. Ex-Minnesota coach Dennis Green lives in San Diego and interviewed with the Cardinals on Wednesday, and Ray Rhodes is Seattle's defensive coordinator.
Rhodes won't be available until Monday at the earliest. He has been granted permission to talk to Snyder, but does not plan to do so until the Seahawks' season is over. Seattle visits Green Bay in the first round of the playoffs Sunday.
Fassel was fired last month by the Giants, who finished 4-12 in his seventh season in New York. Fassel's record was 60-56-1, including a trip to the Super Bowl three years ago.
The Redskins are looking for a replacement for Steve Spurrier, who resigned on Tuesday with a 12-20 record over two seasons.
