RI: Something to chew on (Mariucci speculation) (Update: Interview Wednesday)

OH HELL NO PLEASE ANY ONE BUT HIM!!!



goddamn do u people know what its like for cowboy fans to come up to you and be like your team is shit and rub how good there's is in your face?? jesus...:(

Well I dunno how good is ol Steve???

like, when we make the playoffs and fizzle out and they quickly follow suit?

This poll is much, much, more favorable than any poll for Fassel.

This message intended for those not having voted, and who suppose the Redskins have already picked Fassel, and for LDS to read as well.

Just ask them when the last time they won a playoff game was.

No to Mooch.

Too much of a players coach flake type for me.

My issue with people who have been out of football is you wonder if it's a stop-gap measure and if they plan to be here for the long term.

Exactly stick with hair and make-up and laughing with Deion!!

This is an interesting rumor.

If Danny can pull this off he can save some face, but I still hate him and how he dissed Sanders and Williams.

If true, it's like he'd be playing good cop, bad cop with Fassel.
Most fans dont want him....so all the attention and grief is poored on him, expectations for success plummet...afterwards Snyder can make a decent hire with a spash.
(some fans are even saying "anyone but Fassel")

The truth is anyone that follows Gibbs has really tough shoes to fill and since this job is no longer in house, Danny needs to pull off something in his usual "spectacular" way.
And its no suprise to me that the timing makes sense.
Danny needs national attention, and that doesn't get any higher than the Superbowl.

Prediction:
The Redskins will be the most talked about team other than the top 4 Championship teams....just how Danny likes it....remember, he made his millions in "marketting"

No to Mooch.

I don't know the guy and haven't followed his career extremely closely, but that is kind of the impression I got from discussions of his style on NFL Radio (Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan's show - the best one on that station) back when he coached the Lions. The points that they would continually make was that it was a get in, get done, out on the golf course by the afternoon type deal up there. It worked in San Francisco when you had guys like Steve Young, Jerry Rice, et al, but blew up in Detroit when you had Charles and Shaun Rogers (hence the disciplinarian-type Rod Marinelli being hired). Seems kind of like Spurrier minus the stupid offense. Maybe that will work with this locker room, I don't know.

It would certainly be more fitting with Snyder's "splashy pick" style than Fassel, or Meeks, or most anyone else actually. I think a Mooch hire would therefore be in line with everything else we've seen out of Redskins Park lately (i.e. Snyder a la 2003) then any other pick. For that reason I'd be disappointed if that happens. I'd prefer Fassel to Mooch and I don't understand why the majority in this poll would favor Mooch. He did well (sort of, did he ever even advance to a Conference Championship) with very good teams in San Francisco then fell flat on his face in Detroit (as everyone does). Fassel has a much better resume IMO. Is it personality? Fassel's Giants connection? The fact that he was announced when Williams was still in the picture? I don't really get the preference for Mooch. JLC makes some compelling points though (as to why it makes sense given what has happened and how it would fit with Snyder's personality, not that it is a great idea).

Maybe Williams was not the guy. Ever thought of that? Get over it man he's gone and so is Al and that 700 page bullshit playbook.

I would have liked Willams myself but the Redskins must push forward with new ideas and the same "GIBBS" players for an exciting new year!!!

this is the first alleged candiate, other than gregg, that i can fully support. if mooch is announced as the new HC, that will be a huge relief.

it is very hard for a coach to succeed on a team with a culture of losing (detroit). we slipped into that mindstate for several years, but gibbs rescued us from that. we now, as an team/organization, believe we can win. mooch is a very good coach who, i believe, can take us to the next plateau.


snyder, get this done!
