So Now Who Do You Want?

Good post Paintrain. I agree that Fassel is the guy for sure at this point. Why they are waiting to interview Spagnuolo and McDaniels I have no idea. They can't talk to them prior to the SuperBowl, and they are clearly in the process of cementing all the assistants. So why the charade? What's the benefit to Fassel, the current coaches, or the front office? What if Spagnuolo totally blows away Danny/Vinny in his interview but doesn't like the assistants we've JUST hired/extended? This is silly. Just hire Fassel. I have no idea why we're waiting.

And I agree with your points about Fassel, the experience in the division, and Skins fans eating some crow. I just hope Danny/Vinny don't mishandle the upcoming draft and critical personnel decisions...

They aren't waiting to interview anyone. They are waiting a few nights so that the new coach doesn't have to deal with bullshit from the fans just because he isn't Gregg Williams.

It's going to be Fassel or Schwartz.

Nice post Pain. And if all that happened, how would you feel about it?

To be honest I'd be fine with it.. An experienced NFL coach, who coached in the division, 2 time coach of the year, took a team to the Super Bowl, has a career winning record, known for developing QB.. Bellichick was an idiot in Cleveland, Coughlin was a choke artist in Jacksonville.. Neither of them were as accomplished as Fassel (on paper) when they got their second opportunities and neither got a team as talented as the Redskins when they walked in the door.. I honestly think there's going to be a LOT of crow eaten around DC because I believe Fassel will be more successful than we've seen around here is a while.

When you think about it, this roster or coaching staff as currently situated is not a fit for a young first time head coach..

Ok, here's one I made up as a long long shot. Say Snyder and VC go to Arizona to the SB next week, then they can get permission from the Cardinals and interview Grimm while they're in Arizona. Yeah, right!!

All very good points, particularly the last part.

I heard today that Al Davis also likes Fassel, always has and might interested in him. So Danny has got competition.

Davis also wants Saunders.

He's always had a woody for him also and I'm pretty sure he also like Williams. Kiffin we'll get whacked next week and all hell is going to break loose. Maybe Fassel is waiting for this to occur and use as a negotiating point.

Big C · 01-26-2008, 08:51 PM

fassell. would probably fit best with zorn, has been to a super bowl, knows the nfc east, head coaching experience...cowher just isnt likely for me, plus he likes a 3-4 while blache a 4-3. id rather have our coaching staff be on the same page as far as playing style

jrocx69 · 01-26-2008, 09:25 PM

its between spag and schwartz. i dont think we go with fassel now after the reports of him saying he feels betrayed by the redskins. also, if you think about it, greg blache i dont think will get the defense by himself while we hire a offensive minded head coach. i picked spag but also think schwartz could be the guy.

Where did you hear, read or see that? I hope you are right.

DynamiteRave · 01-26-2008, 09:26 PM

I just want someone who isn't going to run the team into the ground.

SmootSmack · 01-26-2008, 09:28 PM

I wonder where Haslett ends up if Williams goes there. Rams have a lot of potential changes pending, since the passing of Georgia Frontiere

I dont care now the damage has been done. That said dont be surprised if it is Rex Ryan.
