Make a fucking decision or I'll do it So Jim Fassel is the mystery guy and the fan reaction is so negative it makes it into the Washington Post sports page . Looks like the Redskins were set to offer Jim the job. That Wash ington Post piece just linked was originally titled Redskins Expected to Name Fassel as New Coach, it comes up that way in this Google News search. I clicked through ...

And while not as funny, it is important. And if you want a no less frantic, but perhaps more content oriented version of events go here and here at Hog’s Haven and here at the Curly R . Trust me. No cats were harmed in the making of the Curly R post. Again come back, there’s new stuff here, but you need to know that first. Back? OK. You had most of my thoughts on this ...
Jim Fassel Blames the Bloggers
D.C. Sports Bog —
... , and the Curly R . From Fassel's interview with the John Thompson Show this afternoon: When I got the New York Giants job I remember telling my family that, 'You know, you cannot hold the lead in these jobs in major markets.' Because you've got bloggers, and they're saying, 'No, this isn't the right guy, and that ain't the right guy,' and you can't hold the lead, because you are going to take the hit. I mean, when you're the lead dog, you're going to take the hit. And I think the longer it went, the longer it went, the longer it went.... Yeah, we know, the longer it went, the ...
Jim Fassel Blames Bloggers for Failure to Get Washington Redskins Head-Coaching Job
FanHouse —
... , and the Curly R -- I like Fassel, think he was an above-average coach with the Giants and would like to see him get another head-coaching job. But if Fassel is saying he didn't get the Redskins job because Redskins owner Dan Snyder didn't want to anger Redskins bloggers, what he's really saying is that Snyder is an idiot. And no matter what Fassel is saying, if he has the problem with the way the Redskins' coaching search was handled, his real problem is with Snyder. But he won't say anything about Snyder because bloggers are a lot easier to criticize than ...

‘SKINS INTERVIEW ZORN
beta.profootballtalk.com 1/23/2008 — Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that the Redskins have interviewed Jim Zorn for the position of offensive coordinator.

Former Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs is serving as an adviser to owner Daniel Snyder as Snyder searches for Gibbs' successor. And Gibbs thinks it could be a while before the Redskins have their man.

East Coast Bias
Check out dot.comments by Doug Feaver of the Washington Post. He has a nice collection of Redskins bulletin board chatter over the imminent hiring of Jim Fassel. Only most of it is suicidal or calling for regicide. Also, let me be clear that we are sticking to our claim that he's been hired. Here are the reasons: 1) John Riggins said so 2) Snyder is picking the coordinators (which no coach ...

Fassel (or Whoever) Will Have No Staff —
East Coast Bias
Jim Fassel's biggest selling point to Danny Snyder has to be his leadership of the New York Giants, capped by a Super Bowl appearance which he lost to the Ravens. As pointed out by Wilbon today in the Post, most of the coaches in the playoffs this year are with their second (or third) team as a head coach (Belichick, Dungy, Turner, Phillips, Coughlin, etc). So Danny wants to keep up with the ...
