That way they can tell the fans...."see, look, we did everything we could to get in a good DC".....so back to Barry.
Barry over Wade Phillips? That should tell you all you need to know.

I believe it was just Ian Rapaport that initially said the deal was completed. Most everyone else said it was close and not a done deal. And a few said one reason it was not done yet was because the door was still open on a meeting with Fangio.
In other words, I think Fangio was on their list for a while. Well, we know it was. Were they genuinely interested in Fangio, or was it just a "fact finding mission"? I don't know
But in general I don't believe the Redskins should listen to fan sentiment. Fans are so proud of changing the Redskins' mind on proven HC Jim Fassel (a story that I think/know is way overblown), but what did that get us? Jim Zorn
