With maybe the exception of Pittsburgh, Dallas and SD already had a good team in place before their successors took over. If Fossil comes in, he inherits a good team, but not a dominant team like Dallas and SD were at the end of last season. Plus, Fossil is mediocre at best as a H.C. God help us all if this happens.

So what's so different about us? We were dominant at the end of the season, right? We were a playoff team, right?

I'm not trumpeting the Jim Fassel horn, but if he's the guy it's not all of the sudden we're back to the drawing board and rebuilding from scratch.

Well if I'm correct both lost their first playoff game last year like we did this year but then you say they were more dominat teams. Well if this is all true and Gibbs and GW have been here four years then maybe it is time to look else where for our new coach. Parcells took over a bad Dallas team and turned over a very good (dominate by your terms) with the same amount of time Gibbs and GW had.

So Williams may not be hired because he and Cerrato don't get along? I am not a Cerrato hater but if that f*cker is the reason we may have to start all the f*ck over then I will become one potentially.

exactly...its going to be hard for me to support Fassel...I hate our front office!

IF it's Fassel, I too will be MAJORLY disappointed, but i'll support whoever. It will be yet another log on the fire of skepticism for Vinny Cerrato/Dan Snyder/the FO, b/c i don't think Fassel is a good coaching candidate.

I don't like the way this is going...we may have a new mediocre, x-giant, aging, can't get a job HC. Great.

this is getting scary. To me it was bad enough to read that Fassel might replace AS, but now this...

Wonder if Fassel becomes head coach & they actually want to keep GW? I can't see him staying, he'd have to feel insulted. Nothing's final yet, but this doesn't sound good to me.

There's no way.. He bolts and probably tells Snyder and Cerrato what he thinks about them on the way out.

Just to further fan the flames, can you imagine the irony if Fassel is the new head coach and he hires as his offensive coordinator












wait for it..

Agreed, if its Fassel, GW is out the door, for good reason. Bye bye good defense!!

OMG...I'd rather have Jerry Glanville. I hate Billick.......and Fassel.

Jeeze, I hope "Fossil" is not headed our way. I know all of this crap is nothing but speculation, but "Fossil?" Are you kidding me? "Fossil?" If the 'Skins front office blows the selection of yet another H.C. (except Gibbs of course), I just may go mow my lawn come next season and fuhgeddabout watching this whole team come unglued. Our current roster seems to really be behind G. Williams, and that must mean something. If they pick someone like Fassel, or even worse, Mora, we can kiss the concept of continuity away for good (or at least until Snyder sells the team to Tom Cruise).

[mooby]

This is the move that I absolutely do not want to see happen. If we hire him I will think even less of Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder. That doesn't mean I won't be rooting any less for them come fall, but honest to god I really think Jim Fassel would suck at any job we gave him. What the hell has he done in the modern day NFL, and I'm talking modern day, not 8 years ago, that should get him even mentioned as a top candidate? The entire team, not to mention what's left of the coaching staff, will probably be just as pissed as those of us in the fan base that do not want to see this guy hired. Seriously it's like once Joe Gibbs left Dan Snyder said fuck it, i'm going back to my old ways, who needs continuity and stability in the organization.

im ok with fassel, just depends on how much he wants to change....could be great for JC (simpilar playbook, but he likes vertical passing) .

its not all his call though...a lot of guys won't want to stay

Just because the Post reports he's the leading candidate does not make it true. He's even if not below Greg at this point. Jim Fassel??? Can we get used to that? He was a good coach for the gmen but I'm not sure about him here right now. Snyder must really have serious doubts about Greg????
