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

Mooch got run outta San Fran by TO and landed in a black hole called Detroit. He's a good coach, he works well with Cerrato, and Zorn is a perfect OC for him. I'd take Mariucci.
Exactly. People haven't brought up the TO factor. How much would he love to stick it to that windbag 2 times a year (or try to at least). Not only am I all for Mooch, I'd use the word "genius" for the smoke and mirrors Danny has done in assembling the staff while his choice finished other obligations.
The only reason why it won't happen? Too smart and would result in a SB trophy.

Wade Phillips.. 13 wins later do you think his feelings are hurt?

The HC is going to have control over a lot of things. The overall tone and tenor of the team.. The discipline and cohesiveness of the team. The weekly game plans and strategy. The HC will have plenty of say, power and influence on the players and coaches, even if he didn't personally hire them.

Cowboys players wanted the tuna out so Wade had an easier transition with the players then the coach in DC will. The skins players were very much behind Gibbs & GW...the cowboys players almost had a party when the tuna retired.

For those of you that say it will be tough for any coach to follow Joe Gibbs, All I have to say is "What's to follow?" Gibbs took the team to 2 playoff apparences, but had a losing record, and was too conservative and predictable. Mooch is crazy! I like crazy. Be unpredicatable, be crazy, go for it on 4th down, be exciting. The idea of Mooch is much more palitable than Fossel, oh, sorry Fassell!

And it's spelled 'Fossil'.

Gibbs basically had the undying support of 99% of Redskins fans. So while there may not be a ton of pressure in terms of w/l, the spectre of Joe Gibbs and what he means to this franchise is a lot to contend with.

It's spelled 'Fassel'.

And it's spelled 'Fossil'.

I was going to, but I didn't want to be a dick. Now I wish I had. Well done. LOL.

I was typing fast, his name is Fassel, he is a Fossil and if he gets the job we will all be Fussing! Especially since it seems like the Mooch idea has built up some steam. Just read the Insider's post. Mooch makes since, because Snyder can't announce anything until after the SuperBowl and the Mooch's contract is up. He could have announced Fassel by now, BUT he hasn't, WHY NOT, because Mooch is the guy!

What bearing does a TV contract have on a NFL position? There's no tampering with networks, is there?

Not in the case of NFL Network. I believe those guys have clauses that let them discuss coaching opportunities with teams whenever and leave whenever.

Anyhow is it true that Brian Billick is about to sign on with NFL Network? Might he be replacing...

There is no tampering with Mooch's contract with the NFL Network, I just think Mooch wants to fullfill his contract with them before he becomes a head coach. All he has to do is wait until after Sunday and he is finished with them. I bet he enjoys what he is doing with the NFL Network, and then he can offically step away and become the coach of the Skins, if that is what is happening.
