It's strange though. Earlier this week Fassel said the redskins were toying with him. Now the media is reporting the job is his again. I think the coaching search is confusing for everyone involved.I wouldn't trust any of the reports of who is in the lead from here on out. Snyder's got the media baffled.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to declare a leader anyway. This isn't a race. No one is finishing second.

Is Russ Grimm a serious option? Has anyone even spoken to him about the job? I would be happy with him but if it is him why isn't he already hired? He is in Phoenix with no ties to any team in the playoffs?

I was watching espn and there was a report with John Clayton. He said Fassel had already approved the hiring of the OC and DC. So, he is predicting Fassel will be announced as our next HC after the SB.
Here's the link:

Sirus Radio #124 said this afternoon(around 5) Fassel will be the coach.

I'm favoring Schwarts, as he runs the same system that Williams runs and he has been a scout as well, so he probably knows talent. He is also pretty young and if he succeeds could be a coach for us for a long time. This would be a great way for the Skins to provide stability.
BTW, I love this Scott Campbell move to Director of Player Personel. He is a very good talent evaluator and I'd love it if Snyder were to recognize that Vinnie and Scott should swap positions. Better yet, fire Vinnie and teach Campbell how to play racquetball.

Cowher said he isnt going to coach, and Spagnuolo is the guy i like most otherwise. I hope the pats win so that he doesnt want to stay with the team that won the super bowl. Spagnuolo did great things with the giants d.

Greetings from a newbie.
Rather than an opinion, I have a few questions:
With Jim Zorn running the offense, are the Skins better off with Fassel (or another offense-minded coach) as opposed to Meeks, Spagnuolo or Schwartz?
Also, have I missed some news on Don Breaux, who has been holding the title of offensive coordinator? Has he been cut loose officially?

Welcome to the board. Like the user name
I don't believe Breaux has been cut loose officially, but I'm sure it's coming sooner than later.
I think that the advantage of Fassel is that he has experience running an offense so he can "guide" Zorn and give him assistance while the more experienced Blache handles the defense.

I'm upset...was Mariucci one of the names from the beginning? If not could we please be allowed to revote? lol. He fits with what DS is trying to do so far.
