Fassel, Ryan and Zorn, oh my!

Fassel did give one of the best speeches back in Nov. of 2000 when he guaranteed the Giants were going to the playoffs (they went on to win the NFC Championship). The "pushing all my chips to the center of the table" speech.

It's in this article:

Oh my...if this is the case then we are in a heap of...

We would be better off to hire a regular joe off the street and we would get the same result as we would hiring Fassel. Fassel sucks and Snyder should make himself coach since that would be the only thing to make him ultimately happy.

The exact opposite of what everyone thinks you should do! Danny boy I sure hope you know what the hell you're doing!!!

I know the Ravens went back to a 3-4 this season but if we get Rex Ryan will we switch to a 3-4 defense.

We don't have 3-4 personel. Bad move. Real bad move.

Would be easier to trade D coaches with Fisher and make himhappy like when Williams took them to super bowl

If we are searching for a silver lining in this turnover of staff do you all think that if we were to hire Ryan do you think that gives us an inside track to get Terrell Suggs? This would obviously help the conversion to a 3-4 scheme and could be a reality if the Ravens defensive players love playing for him sooo much as previously indicated. Of course he seems like he will be looking for a big payday but if we give up a lower round pick to get Ryan and then sign Suggs for a reasonable contract would that be worth it?

SNYDER does not get my vote! I am dissappointed.....

We are currently 20 million over the cap, so it will not matter if we have an inside track if we cant pay the guy.

Someone please...Kill me now. I REALLY dont wanna see this happen. The Redskins could become the new '07 Dolphins next year if this all goes the way I think it will. Everything good that we've built through schemes and coaching and the consistency (what little bit we've had!) will be destoyed. Why? Because Danny plays too much F-ing Franchise Mode on Madden, that's why.

God save us all. I would rather die of a heartattack than watch my Skins flounder like fish outta water next year.

The Post is putting this out as pretty much a sure thing (see washingtonpost.com)
Well friends, this goes to show that JG has nothing to do with this organization now and no input in the process. Would he ever have suggested: "go ahead, blow up all of my work over the last few weeks"? I have a hard time believing that. Someone please educate me.

I am starting to think that Gibbs knew that Williams was not going to get the job all along. Maybe this is why Gibbs left when he did.Maybe he knew this coaching staff wasnt going to work and didnt want to stick around to rebuild a new one knowing he wouldnt be around the next year.It is all just speculation seeing as how none of us work in the skins front office.

Man, I hope not. I think JG 2.0 had some issues but I don't think he'd sell out his own people.

1-15 here we come. If the giants fired Fassel and the Ravens fired Fassel what good could he possibly do here?? We might as well hire Jimmy Johnson and Andy Ried. Any other rival coaches we can hire?
