Spagnuolo stays with Giants!

Ok so if DS has made his decision(as most of us think he has) what is the hold up now? Is Fassel trying to get a mint out of them? Are they holding back so it doesn't look like they would have gotten Spagnuolo if not for his new contract?

This just doesn't make sense as to why this process is dragging on forever. The other NFL teams found their HC in days not weeks. The only reason to wait thoughout the playoffs was if DS had his eye on a coach from a SB team. Was he just going though the motions?

Well the delay was largely because they had to wait to interview Spagnuolo. If people want to think that's not true, that's on them.

Now that Spags it out of the way, they have to go get Fassel and fly him to DC (what you thought he was sitting in Snyder's kitchen just twiddling his thumbs and waiting?), put the final notes on the contract and clear it with attorneys, draft a press release and set up the press conference. I thought'd we see something tonight. But more likely it will be tomorrow I think

i still think there are better options then settling for fossil who is an awful canidate to begin with.the chargers waited awhile last year and had that whole mess up with marty getting fired and bringing in norv , but it worked out for them. i was surprised russ grimm wasnt contacted to begin with, cause i think he would do fine. and if we get a retred i wanted jim mora jr but we messed that up ,so id go for mike tice. tice help turn the jags off a dominetnt one with a one two puch running game and david garrad coming along nicely. so he could work with betts , portis and jason campbell in the same manor. i also would like the idea of browns oc rob chudzinski ,who turned an alful off into a nice one.plus he worked at mamai hurricans as a coach from 94 to 03 so he would already have that to connect with some of are players. now my last thought would to simple upgrade one of are assints to head coach. say greg blance then bring in dl coach pepper johnson of the patriots.but the best in house canidate is joe bugel. yes extremly old yet always fired up bugel. the players will respect him more the any other coach they could bring in ,and it would save some face with the fans. he already has head coaching experence from 90-93 with the cards and in 97 with oak.make him into the head figure and have blance and zorn run plays like gibbs had al and gregg do. so im all for going from one joe to another.

You declared your self anti-Fassel, and then gave one of the most foolproof pro-Fassel arguments: "if it can work for Norv, it can work for anyone".

i just have never liked fossil thats all ,if it was pretty much anyone else i proberly wouldnt be as aginst it ,but i am for " joe for hc"

And then he made a push for Bugel (who I love as an Offensive Line Coach) who has done far, far, less than Fassel as a head coach; and over 10 years ago

Do you have any real reason not to like him, or just cause?

I guess I thought that since Fassel was the front runner they had the basics of the contract worked out and it wouldn't be this long. But then again the marathon interview with Spags didn't end till last night.

Mort reported on NFL Live that the plane is going to pick up Fassel and to expect a Friday afternoon presser to announce him as HC..

im not sure where the hatred comes from but i never thought he should of been a head coach to begin with and im not saying bugel would be that much better. but im assuming who ever is the head coach this year will be a temp untill next year when he can get cower or some other big name. so bugel would be able to keep alittle more countinty from the gibbs part 2 era then anyone else .because if we think whoever is the head coach is staying after one year ,where kidding are selves ,he might of fired gibbs after one year if he wasnt "gibbs" with the whole games passed him by bs.so we messed up with letting gw and al walk, breaking up what we had going ,so why not bugel over fossil -same difference in the end ,and proberly would finish with the same record in between 5 and 8 wins

oh well there goes this thread ,atleast its over and we can discuss player moves and draft choices .
