Fassel, Ryan and Zorn, oh my!

Is anyone thinking this could be a decent move? We went semi low profile, we took our time. What if his coaching style is closer to Gibbs than Williams was? Just because he was on the staff does not mean once he controls the staff that things will be the same. At the very least at least he has been to Super Bowl as a head coach which is more than Washington has has since ummmmm oh yeah version 1.0

If Dan Snyder wasn't lying when he said that he learned "patience" from Joe Gibbs, then we'll see how good a move this is.

Assuming it is Fassel that gets the nod, what happens if he stumbles out of the gate, finishes at 7-9 or so, and Bill Cowher is ready to coach football again in 2009?

That's one of the biggest concern really, that he's just here until Cowher comes along

Honestly this is my biggest fear as well.

Yeah, if that is truly the case, then they might as well just leave Gregg Williams here. Let him have a crack at it for a season and see how he does. That way, there aren't two huge coaching turnovers in two straight seasons.

He does bring some tangibles, but he also has never had back to back winning seasons. I know GW didn't have one in Buffalo and Bellichek didn't have one in Cleveland, but the difference is that Fassel had talent on those Giants teams
