slinky Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 "The Redskins reportedly want to talk to Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo about their head coaching job. The Redskins reportedly told Jim Fassel they would make a decision on their new head coach in the next two days, but they'd have to wait until after the Super Bowl to talk to Spagnuolo. Gregg Williams remains in the mix. Spagnuolo has also garnered interest from the Falcons, who have put their search on hold until they can speak with him.

voicekiller Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well if it goes past this week we know that dan wants to hire Spagnuolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've said repeatedly that I want to retain GW as head coach, and AS as the OC. If we don't do that, though, then a guy like Spaguolo is precisely the kind of candidate I'd want. If you're going to go a new direction, go a new direction. You can't say you're doing that with a retread like Fassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I agree with Redman. I'd rather wait two weeks to find out Spag is the new HC than hear tomorrow that it's Fassel. Danny has always been impatient. This will show if he has in fact changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Redman, you echoed my sentiments exactly. I'll puke and scream simultaneously if it's Fassel, but I can live with Spagnuolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it looks like house cleaning and another few years of subpar football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it looks like house cleaning and another few years of subpar football. Let's be clear here - if Spagnuolo (or for that matter, Mora or Meeks) was hired, that necessarily means that GW is gone. He wouldn't stick around while another defensive-oriented head coach takes over his turf on this team, nor should he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Brown #43 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 JLC's initial reaction to the Gibbs retirement press conference was that there would be a bloodletting...and everyone thought he was nuts at the time, including me. Maybe he's the only one who nailed this thing. Sure, he later got on board with the idea that it would be Williams, but that's what all indications began pointing to. But maybe his initial instinct was spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsMaster88 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I don't think Snyder will wait that long for Spagnuolo, but you never know. Every day seems to bring a different rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siven Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hopefully Spagnulo can give us a dominating defense line. That's one thing that's always pissed me off about Williams, the Redskins D was easy to beat if your protection was good enough to handle the blitz. If it was, well then the Redskins were in a bind and there only way out was constantly making plays in man coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbutler2113 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Why can't we be like dallas, colts, and seahawks and plan on promoting the assistant hc. And if snyder did offer williams the your the next head coach or you get a mil. He will leave because snyder lied to him even if its not in a contract.

CallMeGreen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Could it be, that maybe Spags is the HC preferred option, while Fassel may just be the OC option? I haven't heard that possibility yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
