There seems to be this logic floating around of young coach = long term answer.
What is long term in this league anyways?
Face it, no matter who takes over he will realistically have about 3 seasons to show that the team is moving forward and making progress. Whoever gets the job has to win regardless of age.

Spags coached the defense that stopped the most high-powered offense in NFL history - I'd say that looks pretty good on a resume.
While thats true I think what he did over the year with NY D is a better telling story. They were giving up a ton of points in there first two games but made changes and got the ball rolling on D. This tells me he knows how to find answers to problems and get things fixed.

Not only did they shut down NE but look at the other teams they stifled in the playoffs. Dallas and Green Bay, two of the best offenses in the league this year.

In the interest of being right, Jim Fassel.
Spags needs to prove he can do his job in the New York Media market for longer than one season. Fassel did it for seven.

Spags did good things in the league 3 days ago...Fassel has not done anything good in the league in 7 years.

I say let's go with Spags. Young guy, hungry to show what he has as a coach. We're a defensive minded team, so we might as well continue with that. If Spags doesn't work, then Snyder can go after Cowher. If Spags does work out, then he has a coach for the next 10 years (hopefully). Fassel already had his time with the Giants, but that was a long time ago. Also, someone mentioned how Spags would be a Redskins coach, unlike Fassel or even Mooch, coaches from other teams who are now with the Redskins. Mark my words, if DS picks Fassell, and if he doesn't work out, the same people in here that are "ok with Fassell" will be blasting DS for picking him.

I'm saying Spagnuolo is going to be the guy, but I think Fassel is the better choice.
Did anyone know that Spags first gig in the NFL was with Washington in 1983 as a player personal intern? Guess he will have come full circle should he get the job.
I'm still routing for Fassel, but Spagnuolo is somewhat intriguing.

Not sure i care anymore. Let's just hire a HC and get started w/ next season. I'm just ready to start being a fan again. I'm not really sure if our HC matters that much seeing we already have all coaches in place. Please hire somebody soon!!

Fassel.. Our offense needs more development than our defense and he's got a long history of developing young QB..

I'm on the Spag wagon. I'm wondering what will be done with the current players we have on deck, but if he gets the job I'm sure he'll do fine by everyone. I'm not sure he's ready, but let's put him to the test.
Whoever we do sign, how long do you think we sign them for?
