FASSEL TO BE HIRED AS SOON AS WEDNESDAY?
Though some league insiders believe that Jim Fassel will never be an NFL head coach again, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Fassel could be the head coach of the Washington Redskins as soon as Wednesday.
And Fassel could be paired with former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who is under consideration to return to the Ravens in that same capacity -- and who also could end up coaching the Falcons.
Left out in the cold would be current Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who not long ago was given a healthy raise to get him to refrain from pursuing other opportunities to become a head coach elsewhere. Williams has been interviewed multiples times, has spent four years in the building, and hasn't been offered the job. That's not a good sign.

SFREDSKIN 01-22-2008, 09:51 PM Adam Sphincter is a douchebag!! Didn't he also say that Garrett was the Ravens coach? If you want to turn fans off and have empty seats, hire retread Fossil. So many other good candidates besides this clown.
Skins fan 44 01-22-2008, 10:31 PM Wow what a mystery canidate. I just cant wait now. So much to look forward to i can hardly wait. Not that I wanted Mora but Mora would of been better then Fossil. I am sure all of the players are trilled about him. I wonder if any player have any input.

I think Snyder is remembering what happened the last time Joe Gibbs retired and the then owner JKC went with the defensive coordinator who the players all loved and wanted to coach them for continuity...Remember Richie Petibon? 4-12 that next year... Snyder doesn't want a deja vu moment there I beleive......
SFREDSKIN 01-22-2008, 10:44 PM If Fossil is announced as HC tomorrow, it just might be the the lowest of the low in Redskins history. I might not watch another game until Snyder sells the team. Do the right thing, hire GW. Don't be a stupid F...!!!!!

Dude, I think this is a very astute observation. Someone with a real knowledge of the team and football would make this observation. The only problem is that Snyder is neither of these.

Fassel and Rex Ryan
Continues to look like a pair of former Ravens could be perched here in a matter of time.
I keep hearing that Fassel is in a great position to get this job, and when it all hits the fan that former Baltimore DC Rex Ryan would replace Gregg Williams if it goes down this way. That is the hot rumor at the Senior Bowl, and Rex knows Jim and Vinny Cerrato has ties to Rex. Makes sense. So you would be looking at major overhauls to the staff.
Snyder and Cerrato are mulling this over tonight but I would not be surprised to see someone get an offer Wed. At this point I am told the Redskins have still said nothing to Williams and the rest of the coaches and all signs pointing to Fassel. Snyder could always go the other way, and, this organization is capable of anything, but there is lots of angst among the players and coaches - especially those down at the Senior Bowl in Mobile.
Dirtbag59 01-22-2008, 10:53 PM I just want Williams to hang around. In fact I have no probelm with the Skins hiring Fassal. The guys solid as a head coach and if Williams were to stay around then I would love the hire.
