Ingtar Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Well, I hope Dan can find someone to buy my seats. He can keep the deposit. I also will not be buying any more Skins gear. What a ******* *******. I may just have to remove myself from here for quite a while if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Well, at least people won't be accusing Snyder of making big moves to appease the fan base with this one. As I said before, I seem to be one of the few who actually likes the move. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ******* *******. I may just have to remove myself from here for quite a while if this happens. If Art & Darrell get into the H-O-F I will probably try to make the road-trip...after that...I agree with you about the Skins gear...I have told my family & friends if Fassel got the job...no more Skins gear and don't even think of getting me a ticket to a game anytime soon. Capt Rich Fla was right if this was Snyder's hand-picked guy the interviews were a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtyler42 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I really don't get all of the Fassel hate around here...He has a winning record against all the NFC east teams, He has a winning record overall, he's been named coach of the yr twice, and he's taken a team to the Super Bowl...So he got fired as OC in Baltimore, so what...Every OC in Baltimore got fired then eventually Billick...So tell me how exactly is he a bad coach?

Completely agree. The only way to hurt Snyder is to hit his bottom line. I never used to agree with taking anything out on him, but I think this is my breaking point. We are grabbing a retread coach WHO NO ONE IN THE LEAGUE WANTED and making him our head coach. We may as well flush all of Gibbs work down the crapper. I hope Danny and Fassel can purge all of their freaking body thetans together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Maybe because you like ANY move this team makes? Not true. I've been neutral to a lot of them and negative on a few more. I often have a wait-and-see attitude for a good many moves. I'm just amazed that a coach that has had far more success than any of our coaches the past 10 years is considered such a negative. :whoknows: Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abu69 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's Jim freakin' Fassell. On the other hand, what if the unpopular Fassell hiring turns the city against the team, and the players galvanize (like they did last year around ST) around the "us vs. the world" mentality, or "nobody believed but us" mentality that is so powerful in football and have another successful season? Or better yet, what if his success in leading the Giants to perennial over-achievement was no fluke and...he....is...actually.....a...good.........coach?!?!

He got fired mid-season in Baltimore, which is always a very, very bad sign. His last year in NY, he fielded one of the worst teams in memory, and his players quit on him. We almost hired Fassel back in 2004, and even then, no one thought it was a good idea. What has he done since then? Well, he got fired from Baltimore and opened up a Quizno's in south Jersey. I am not making this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fassel has 2 playoff wins I believe, both in the same season (where they went to the Super Bowl and were routed by the Ravens). A .522 winning percentage. 3 winning seasons, 3 losing seasons, and 1 .500 year. Man, why isn't VERY team knocking down this guys door??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I was enjoying the excitement of the interviewing process and hanging on news about who the next candidate would be. It was a nice deterrent from the backlash.

skinfan2k Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 If Fassel is ended up being hired, Snyder will look really bad in the process and for wasting the time of meeks, spagnuolo and marcucci.

abu69 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 He got fired mid-season in Baltimore, which is always a very, very bad sign. Not necessarily. If I remember correctly, Billick was taking some heat and needed a scapegoat. It's not like the Ravens have fared any better on offense since then. His last year in NY, he fielded one of the worst teams in memory, and his players quit on him. We almost hired Fassel back in 2004, and even then, no one thought it was a good idea. What has he done since then? Well, he got fired from Baltimore and opened up a Quizno's in south Jersey. I am not making this up. They did quit on him but they were also just a very bad team. QB Kerry Collins, age 35 or something? Even so, he had been there for 7 years at that point? That can happen, and give him credit: not many coaches even last that long. I hate having to talk myself into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I want....a coach who can't ready his players for the biggest game of their lives. they didn't lose that game - they were embarassed. just as Art mentioned earlier today...Fassel represents more of the same...win...lose.....win. there's nothing outstanding about him...in polite quarters...what Snyderatto is doing is called "settling".....
