Eight in the Box

mods - can we add a "If it means no Fassel" selection?

HE LIED

He could've had input from the beginning. The Zorn hire seems like it was a safe bet for Fassel, GW or Mooch in the event that any of them were hired. Defense isn't as much his thing & the D is in good shape. I think the real question is how much long term decision making will the coach have.

Mooch last worked for Matt Millen, he might see danny & vinny as a sight for sore eyes! It will be interesting to see whoever our new head coach is, come draft time & how much input he will have w/personel decisions. Vinny's promotion doesn't necessarily mean much in terms of the power structure, at least we don't know yet if it does. Since danny said he'd keep things the same, I would expect he & vinny to still be heavily involved in drafting & acquiring free agents.

id be happy with mooch or fassel, as long as the head coaches offensive/defensive philosophy (whichever we choose) matches with that respective coordinator. i do want an experienced head coach and not a coordinator with no nfl head coaching experience.

Phillips is in a bad situation. Jason G. is making the same $ if not more than Phillips. He knows that his job is not secure cause they have the coach in waiting calling plays. Makes no sense to me.

Mooch got run outta San Fran by TO and landed in a black hole called Detroit. He's a good coach, he works well with Cerrato, and Zorn is a perfect OC for him. I'd take Mariucci.

Exactly. People haven't brought up the TO factor. How much would he love to stick it to that windbag 2 times a year (or try to at least). Not only am I all for Mooch, I'd use the word "genius" for the smoke and mirrors Danny has done in assembling the staff while his choice finished other obligations.
The only reason why it won't happen? Too smart and would result in a SB trophy.

Cowboys players wanted the tuna out so Wade had an easier transition with the players then the coach in DC will. The skins players were very much behind Gibbs & GW...the cowboys players almost had a party when the tuna retired.

For those of you that say it will be tough for any coach to follow Joe Gibbs, All I have to say is "What's to follow?" Gibbs took the team to 2 playoff apparences, but had a losing record, and was too conservative and predictable. Mooch is crazy! I like crazy. Be unpredicatable, be crazy, go for it on 4th down, be exciting. The idea of Mooch is much more palitable than Fossel, oh, sorry Fassell!

It's spelled 'Fassel'.

And it's spelled 'Fossil'.

Gibbs basically had the undying support of 99% of Redskins fans. So while there may not be a ton of pressure in terms of w/l, the spectre of Joe Gibbs and what he means to this franchise is a lot to contend with.

I was typing fast, his name is Fassel, he is a Fossil and if he gets the job we will all be Fussing! Especially since it seems like the Mooch idea has built up some steam. Just read the Insider's post. Mooch makes since, because Snyder can't announce anything until after the SuperBowl and the Mooch's contract is up. He could have announced Fassel by now, BUT he hasn't, WHY NOT, because Mooch is the guy!

BleedBurgundy

What bearing does a TV contract have on a NFL position? There's no tampering with networks, is there?
