Yeah I hope due diligence was done on why exactly that happened

This is why Snyder just shouldn't hire the guy. Who gives a damn if he gets alongs with everybody. Are we trying to get along and be buddy buddy, or are we trying to win games? To me, Fassel just seems like a good OC. There are just certain guys that I can tell are leader of men. Fassel is not one of them.

Look, the guy hasn't done anything notable in 4 seasons. Can't deny that. But he did win a conference championship and was twice named coach of the year (I think I've repeated that stat 3 times now). Obviously he understands what it takes to be successful as a HC in this league. But can he still be that guy? I'm not so sure, and neither are a lot of "league sources."
