Alright one last coaching poll. I'm calling this a 2 man race now. The way Snyder talked about Meeks yesterday I think he's out. Mooch has been rumored to be out, and then back in, so I'm saying he's probably not a top candidate right now. I think it's down to Fassel or Spags... who's your choice?
I just want to say I'm ok with either guy. But with the way the Giants finished up Spags is definitely the hot candidate right now.
If I had to bet, I'd put my money on Spagnuolo. I remember reading a few weeks ago that he's a great interview and would knock the socks off Snyder if he got the chance to sit down with him.
But at the same time I can totally see Fassel getting it... would Snyder leave Fassel out in the cold yet again?
I to am ok with either candidate. I lean towards Spags, even though he is unproven as a HC. He's got that................Charles Manson look in his eyes! You GOTTA' respect that

What the hell. Lets go with the flavor of the month. Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle and Spags is the next big thing and our coach for the next decade.
Just for the record: I am okay with Fassel too.

I'm on the same page with you Joe. The possibility of bottling lighting makes Spags the more attractive coach. Ultimately the goal is to win a Super Bowl, and with our FO's questionable personnel tactics, a great coach might be the only hope we have. Fassell would be decent, and possibly even a better coach than Spags, but I think we've seen enough from Fassel to know that he is not an elite coach in this league; a good coach? Yes. A proven coach? Yes. But an elite coach? No. We need to try for an elite coach, and if it doesn't work out with Spagnuolo, we'll just have to try again with someone else.

We have a good OC now, I'm unsure about the DC, so let's hire a defensive-minded HC. :)

Are you sure you don't have that backwards?
Blache has been a DC before in this league while Zorn is a first time OC. But you doubt Blache?

Spagnuolo has the potential to be a great coach, he also has the potential to be a total failure. I can think of far worse choices than him, but I can also think of one person who is probably a better fit for this team...Jim Fassel.
The way the team has been structured with Blache and Zorn leading the defense and offense, respectively, it just strikes me as making more sense to have a veteran head coach with offensive experience overseeing everything in a CEO type role with more emphasis on assisting Zorn (but then I think of what the Cowboys did with Garrett, and maybe Zorn doesn't need a helping hand.)
Still, I see what a "retread" like Tom Coughlin did this year, which was essentially just stay out of the way of his top coordinators and just intercede when needed and I don't see why Fassel can't do the same.

I don't know a lot about him, but Zorn did a good job with Hasselbeck.
Maybe we can finally beat the Hawks in the playoffs.
