Looks like you didn't call it :)

and farewell tro my 3 second joe bugel for head coach campain

Well the delay was largely because they had to wait to interview Spagnuolo. If people want to think that's not true, that's on them.

Now that Spags it out of the way, they have to go get Fassel and fly him to DC (what you thought he was sitting in Snyder's kitchen just twiddling his thumbs and waiting?), put the final notes on the contract and clear it with attorneys, draft a press release and set up the press conference. I thought'd we see something tonight. But more likely it will be tomorrow I think

You are right.

Is it possible for most fans to ever give Danny credit for anything? He made a list and interviewed every person on it. Spags was a hot coach and he wanted to interview him. Rules said he couldn't until this week. He wasn't impulsive or splashy. In the end, nobody topped his initial #1 choice but he absolutely interviewed enough canidates and gave them a fair shot. In his opinion, he is bringing in who he thinks is the best option (and don't think for a moment that he wouldn't terminate a fresh contract and pay an assistant that Spags didn't want and then hire who he did).

As for Fassel; while not my first choice (or top five really), his players liked him. Right now we don't need a hard ass. We have guys who just want to follow a true leader to the SB. Give him a chance, guys. Remember his "garauntee" in 2000? It took balls to give it and his guys fought their guts out to back him up.

Let's get behind our FO and new staff and try to look for some positives here.

I thought he would be perfect for the skins, how do we avoid fassel now?

I'm eagerly waiting the Jim Fassell signing so I can change my avatar. I'm not changing my avatar until the new head coach is official

Maybe they are sending the plane for Russ Grim?? LOL

Why? Put some meat on the bones of your post

Spags had a terriffic defensive game plan for the Pats, and has had his D play terriffic games through the playoffs. He would have done great things with a talented skins defense that is ready to match up with the nfls best.

Ok, but we're not looking for a defensive coordinator.
