I think any smart coach just wouldnt want that taint on his resume.

Fassell?

Sure they talked to Fassell (and Gregg Williams too) but in the end I am sure Fassell told them thanks but no thanks so with no place else to turn they promoted Zorn.

I doubt it, considering he has spent the past year practically begging for work in the NFL, and now has settled for the UFL.

And I've never understood that. What mortal sin did Jim Fassel ever commit that make people hate him so much?

1 month before Marty was hired, he was an analyst on ESPN and said emphatically that he would never work for DS. Shortly thereafter Dan hired him. Since he was fired I have never heard him say one negative thing about Snyder. This, in my mind proves 2 things:
1 - If Danny wants a coach he will do what it takes to get him.
2 - Danny generally knows how to treat head coaches.

What Danny definitely does not do very well, is manage his public persona.

Do you honestly believe that, or does that just help you with your statement. From what I remember they were both disappointed they didn't get the job.

Fassell asked for the Oakland job and is now a UFL coach. I say the man was desperate. He also is a WCO disciple.
