Fassel meets with Redskins over coaching vacancies

[MTK]

Just to throw this out there for discussion, why do we just assume it's all Snyder's fault?

Just for arguments sake what if Gibbs isn't 100% behind GW?

What if Williams was just a bad interview... or what if he wants too much control and or too much $$?

In the end Snyder is the one that is going to have to work closely with a new coach. Snyder is also the one that is the most informed about the potential candidates. As fans we know very little of what has gone on behind the scenes.

I think it's only fair that he brings in a guy that he's comfortable working with and someone that he feels is best for the job. Personally I'm going to hold off on my ultimate judgement until we see what the new HC is able to accomplish on the field. All of these emotional knee-jerk reactions are pretty silly and useless.

Snyder is no dumb guy. He has to know what the delay is causing so there must be a VERY good reason why its not Williams job already.

And yes, as fans we don't know what that is.

I would want anyone before Fassel in my opinion he's a lame duck.

Just don't know why Vinny and Snyder wouldn't interview Al Saunders for the job as a courtesy if you're gonna go Fassel?? The Fassel interveiw makes it fact that the first choice was Cower, then Carol, then anyone but Williams or our staff.

If Fassel had his first interview on 1/11 then maybe Fassell was my
cousin Vinnies first choice all along.

Fassell makes as much since as Harbaugh in Baltimore. I don't
understand the process and how these coaches are choosen.
Baltimore has first-hand experience with Fassell and he was never considered for the job. It boils down to personality and who can be controlled. I do not believe GW is a yes man and not as diplomatic as JG and there's the rub.

Great post but I think that thinking is valid! But...Snyder has not earned the right for this thinking!!!! we can only go on track record.

Fassel didn't get hired yet! Still could be Williams job, just no way of knowing anything. Also really sucks how our ENTIRE STAFF hasn't even been given a peep from Vinny or Dan, typical......

To add to that, while Fassel wouldn't be my first choice (don't know if Williams would either), to just declare a Redskins apocalypse because of him is simply idiotic. We don't know what other coaches will be hired, what free agents signed, trades made, draft picks selected. There is so much more to be done between now and opening day, beyond just picking a head coach.
