Spagnuolo stays with Giants!

This link says it all. We DID NOT OFFER him the job when he made his move.

ESPN - Giants keep Spagnuolo, make him NFL's highest-paid D-coordinator - NFL

No job was offered but I'm sure you'll say it was to save face.

Ok so if DS has made his decision(as most of us think he has) what is the hold up now? Is Fassel trying to get a mint out of them? Are they holding back so it doesn't look like they would have gotten Spagnuolo if not for his new contract?

This just doesn't make sense as to why this process is dragging on forever. The other NFL teams found their HC in days not weeks. The only reason to wait thoughout the playoffs was if DS had his eye on a coach from a SB team. Was he just going though the motions?

Contract negotiations. Probably won't take long. My guess is Fassel will be signed sealed and delivered by Monday at the latest.

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.
