After Mooch interview, John Clayton still predicts Fassel

[MTK]

Who really cares. There's not much difference between Fassel and Mooch. It's almost comical that people are so against Fassel. I almost want to see him get it now just to piss people off.

I admit I was (and still am - for what it's worth) opposed to Fassel over GW.

But, as time passes and inevitability increases, I am not jumping on the Fassel hate train. The man has been to the Super Bowl. If/when he's named coach, I'll root for the Skins and hope they do well. Fassel will be okay. As for all the haters, let's hope you all have a huge "mea culpa" at the end of the season.

Sometimes I think the hate at Fassel is just fan reaction to Little Danny and the Evil Dwarf and bears no relation to Fassel's coaching abilities.

Yes, you are exactly right. It si not a knock on Fassel, but anger toward this entire crazy process. I think most of the frustrated fans are upset that we fired two very qualified coaches that most people liked only to replace them with two lesser canidates. Saunders and Williams will get hired quickly. Fassel most likely will not be a HC unless Snyder hires him. That says alot.

Perhaps much of the anti Fassel feeling is spanning the globe because so many were under the illusion that Williams was automatically going to get the position, and when it didn't happen, felt betrayed and dissapointed.

Fassel survived 7 years in a New York media market without snapping. He did so while coaching a steady diet of mediocre to poor talent into the playoffs a bunch of times. The SB appearance had more to do with getting to play the Eagles and the Vikings in the playoffs than actually having a great team, but the inconsistencies can be explained by the lack of great talent on that team.

The 2008 Redskins will likely be the most talented team Jim Fassel has ever coached, should he get the job.

If there isnt much difference between them, then why would DS inteview both??? maybe its because they are vastly different and thats what you find out during inteviewing.... mark my words, on today Ground Hog Day 2008, FASSEL IS A DUD......

I do realize this is a win win, because if I am wrong the skins are doing well, although this does not mean I have to like F'n Fassel
