I cant believe that it isnt gonna be GW. It doesn't make sense, I didnt see this coming. I need more info on Fassel before I can make an opinion.

He had one good season a while back and he's chummy with Vinny C. That's about all you need to know.

I just found this. If Gregg Williams couldn't get the job with four 10 hour interviews, i dont know what to say. I didnt know we were considering Fassel before Gibbs came back.

What did you just find?

From JLC:

"All of my reporting leads to this trio topping the coaching staff.

Jim Fassel is expected to be named head coach, and the hold up is negotiations with the Ravens regarding Rex Ryan. As I previously reported, contrary to other reports, the Ravens retain Ryan's coordinator rights and can block a lateral move. They appear to be doing that. The sides may reach an agreement, but Ravens ownership badly wants to keep Ryan, who the players love. Fassel and Ryan spoke as recently as last night sources said and Ryan interviewed with Snyder Sunday night, according to sources.

Zorn, as we were the first to report, interviewed for the offensive coordinator job. He is set to depart around 5:40 and if all goes well he would be the leading candidate to replace Al Saunders (with whatever fancy title they want to use).

Everyone is waiting to hammer the contract details out but barring a last second change of heart, disaster, whatever, this is how it's shaping up."

THis is going to cost us dearly. Good thing we stock up on draft picks (heavy sarcasm)

I simply do not understand our fanbase anymore...
In years we had everything figured out and thought we were concrete GUARENTEED to go 11-5, 12-4, etc... we go 6-10 or 7-9 and fall on our faces.

LET'S PLEASE WAIT AND SEE!!! If JF becomes Coach Fassell to us - so be it, IT IS WHAT IT IS! He has my supports, should have yours and I will bet the mortgage if we started 3-0 you would ALL be all over his johnson... (so to speak).

The earth will still rotate after this is announced, if it is - someone will still die of hunger, babies will continue to be born and deaths will happen... life moves on, the Redskins move on and you too Fan's should show your belief in this franchise and move on.

HAIL!!!

Best statement of this thread!

It is impossible to replace a HOF Coach with anything nearly identical.

(There are no other Active HOF Coaches!)

Hail!

It has very little to do with "Coach Fossil". Many of us think he sucks, sure, but there are just as many other options who maybe don't suck as much, or even at all, who I also don't want.

Don't confuse resentment and disappointment with the direction of the franchise ownership with any issue over an individual coach or assistant.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggghhh.

Please don't give away any first day picks. Maybe a third I can deal with, but anything more I don't know if I can handle it.

Backrow and CapnChaos47, I can respect that totally. The harsh, bold reality is I'll be cheering the Redskins on and supporting whomever they hire come training camp. But if they don't hire Williams, it's going to leave a bad taste in my mouth for a long, long time.

We've been through changes before - we'll be through changes again. You know what I do for bad tastes in my mouth? Grill up one hell of a steak and cover it in fried onions!!! :headbange

I understand these forums, threads, the never ending 24/7 scope of news we now have - exist for this purpose, to allow us to have an opinion... that's great! I love opinions!

I just hate to see all this emotion put forth towards something we a)have no control over b)will look back at and laugh if we win the NFC East in '08 and c)have much dire needs in the world we ''could'' focus such emotion too.

Either way - it doesn't matter. I love this team either way, it's just football. Doesn't change the way I make a living and support my family.
