I think Greg would have been an excellent hire because he had the team leadership behind him and I believe he learned more about what it takes to be a great headcoach from Gibbs.
You don't work with someone that close without having part of their personallity rub off on you.

That whole fan revolt stuff is pretty overplayed. Ultimately it was really that Cerrato and Fassel couldn't co-exist. Cerrato couldn't handle it.
Remember Fassel was very nearly our head coach in 2004, but then Gibbs came calling. And how are you going to turn him down?
Then in 2008, Fassel wanted Zorn and Rex Ryan as his coordinators. We couldn't get Ryan but we did get Zorn for Fassel. But then Snyder caved to the whole "let a football guy run the team" mentality (I guess that was the real fan revolt) and let Cerrato-who, like it or not, has plenty of football experience-run Fassel out of town (before he even got here).
