Re: No offer made to Fassel yet!!!!

Williams should be the head coach. That goes without saying. But it is absolutely ridiculous for them to not keep Saunders on as well. Even if he wouldn't be Williams' choice (which I've heard) Snyder should insist.

You don't bring in one of the best playcallers in the game and then fire him after 2 seasons. I think down the stretch of this past season we all saw what our offense could look like with a QB that's studied it for years, a healthy group of receivers, and Al calling the plays with autonomy. Look at Al's KC statistics. His offense wasn't #1 overnight. Over the course of 4 or 5 seasons it steadily rose from bottom of the pack to middle of the pack to top 10 to top 5 to # 2 and #1 in his last two years there.

I think it's an idiotic move. I honestly believe we could get to the superbowl in the next year or two if we keep this group together, offense AND defense. Look at what the Giants did this year. Didn't we stomp them a month ago?

Rumors that Snyder and Vinny don't really want Al. I hear what you're saying though. Look, Saunders Offense is famous around the NFL for how complex it is. Takes so long to learn. Don't think Zorn is a dummy, he say film and coached against us last year. He would adapt his style for who we have and enhance the passing game. Look how hard they're trying to keep Zorn, that should tell us something, Snyder open those pockets and get your man!

I think the players hate Saunders and would love for him to go and take his 700 page play book with him! I have no problem with him being replaced.

Re: No offer made to Fassel yet!!!!

This from the Times:


What gives you pause about Fassel is his failed stint as the Ravens' offensive coordinator from 2004 to mid-'06, his last NFL post. Granted, anybody would have trouble trying to make chicken salad out of Kyle Boller (and a creaky Steve McNair), but it might explain why he wasn't in contention for the other head jobs that came open this year.



Then, too, with a coach, there's always the question of: How much of the success was due to him, and how much was due to the people around him (GM, assistants, players, etc.)? When Fassel went to the Super Bowl seven years ago, his offensive play-caller was Sean Payton and his defensive play-caller was John Fox. Fox, I'll just remind you, guided the Panthers to the Super Bowl in his second season, and Payton took the Saints to the NFC title game in his first try.



Coaching searches are always a crapshoot, especially if, like Snyder, you haven't grown up in the game. Dan's last hire, the sainted Gibbs, was a no-brainer. This one carries a lot more risk. So you play the percentages, pick a former coach with a decent track record — rather than a rising-star assistant who's an even bigger gamble — and hope for the best.

Re: No offer made to Fassel yet!!!!

WTF has Jim Zorn done??? Saunders has more of a coaching resume that Zorn does. The guy had a top 5 offense every year he was in KC w/ shitty Wr's. Let Al do his thing w/out Joe lurking over his shoulder.

Re: No offer made to Fassel yet!!!!

I'm just going to stop checking with Comcast and La COnfora. Everytime I do, they say it sounds like a done deal, and then everything gets shot down. I honestly think Snyder wants us to think one hting while he is doing another.

Re: No offer made to Fassel yet!!!!

Fire Fassel? That's genius considering he doesn't even have the job yet.

And to think someone wasted money on that domain name.

Pathetic. I'm tellin ya, a lot of people are acting like little kids right now. It's downright embarrassing.
