Fassel meets with Redskins over coaching vacancies

I didn't say that Danny Boy created this "buzz" to make money. I said he did it to stroke his ego.

He also happens to be very interested in making money on the Redskins, but that's not why he finds ways to get himself positioned at the center of the stories about hiring coaches and signing flashy free agents. He does that for ego-strokes.

OK that's better than saying he does it to make money, and I can't rule you out as being right on that point. But to me the guy is about two things:

1) Making a ton of money
2) Trying to win games

The two goals are not exclusive of each other. Though to have as much success in business as he's had, he certainly would have a huge ego. I don't think he's manufacturing buzz on purpose just for ego reasons, I think he's just taking time to decide between Fassel and GW because he wants the guy who he thinks will win. Nevermind whether he knows what he's doing or not.
