I think Gibbs' influence on myself & other fans was so deep that it brought back our concept of who the redskins are, in that you could actually associate players & coaches w/the team again. Between 2000-2004, this team's identity was no identity, players & coaches came & went. In that climate, hiring Fassel, an ex-giant, would've not been a big deal. Now, we've actually tasted some continuity & feel like we have a team, so not hiring GW was viewed so negatively.

Like some others have posted, I believe that not hiring GW was the real reason behind the fan reaction more than anit-fassel feelings.

I agree, and said the exact same thing in a previous post. When the list of coaches was compiled [notwithstanding the return of Gibbs] Jim Fassels' name was atop the list. The backlash directed towards Fassel I do not believe to be personal, but in retaliation to Williams not being given the job.

That certainly is a good point.
But to anothers....someone said they'd rather have Williams than Spag any day of the week.

I say, I'd rather have Williams than Fassell most days of the week.

So it aint just bad feelings about how Williams was treated...there is also some logic behind who people think would be a better Redskins coach.

Now if you put Mooch in the equation, it becomes murkier
