We didn't need Fassel for the D and he didn't possess the WCO skills needed to integrate the offense, so it's best to go with a guy many around the league viewed as a rising star and not shoulder him with a HC who'd muddy the process. Fassel would have been an excess ego, not a benefit to the team. He wasn't value added in the end, so why pay him when he wasn't going to bring anything to the table?

Interesting take and I agree with you about everything but Fassels ego. He has been very PC in all his comments, even saying that he would still like to work for THE SNYDER. I think right now he is more interested in keeping his name "out there" should other vacancies (of any kind) pop up.
I wonder if Fassel would be willing to be an "Assistant Head Coach - Quarterbacks" under Zorn or whether that would just be too weird. No one can dispute that Fassel has an excellent record of working with QBs. Zorn really won't have much time to work with Campbell, so we currently need one of two things:
1) A veteran WCO Starting QB (Hell, Mark Brunell)
2) A PROVEN QB coach who can develop Campbell.
Personally, I hope to never see Brunell on the field in anything other than a pre-season game ever again.
