Fassel meets with Redskins over coaching vacancies

Both are solid choices. Again, I'd prefer Williams (mainly just so people would shut up already), but if we hire Fassel as our head coach, go back to a West Coast offense that Campbell is supposedly more comfortable in and restore our winning ways...well all these "the world is over" posters will look pretty dumb.

This isn't Rich Kotite we're talking about. Let's give the team a chance

You bring up a good point. I know that Williams is fan favorite. The way he dealt with the Taylor situation was excellent. And the players love him too. These guys have been through hell and back together. This locker room has bonded together in a special way. And the fans feel that. They love that (me included). Obviously that lends to how much support Gregg is getting. That said, he only has two years of head coaching experience, and his football acumen outside of the realm of defense is very unproven.

All I can think of is Williams went into his interviews and presented the direction he wanted to take the Redskins, and that direction must have been very different from Vinny and Danny's ideas.

JLC mentions is his most recent article that Gibbs privately endorsed Williams to Snyder. Snyder loves Gibbs and signs off on almost anything he says. Something must have gone down that really soured The Danny on GW.
