Seeing McDaniels up close and personal these past couple of years, I don't think he's the choice for the Skins at this time. While most of the pieces are in place for the team to continue on a positive slope towards a championship, I think a secure veteran coach would be better able to take a team that's close and build on it, rather than a first-timer who's upside is unknown, as well as an unknown downside. When Mangini left the Patriots, he had a great season with a team with a last place schedule. This past year, wasn't a step forward, and now the rumblings begin. And Mangini had never run the whole show prior to the Jets hire.

I love Mooch as a hire, if he has any communication with Zorn about a philosophy that can be meshed, but I'm thinking that Fassel or Giants boy is more like the hire. Fassel maybe, as he has coached in a Super Bowl, but as other replies have stated, he's not an "electric" hire that Danny Boy would like to spark the team and fan base. Which I don't really think this team needs. The Falcons needed a spark, and they got a dude. A solid hire is the best way to go for the Skins.
