Capt Rich Fla Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 He is only here to keep the seat warm for Cowher. Do you really think Cower would subject himself to this kind of scrutiny in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Pablo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 08: 7-9, this only makes sense considering the massive offensive overhaul, and the changes on D 09: 8-8, we reflect the same inconsistency of HC's career 10: 7-9, Danny fires Fassel and promotes Vinny to Executive President and Head Coach Vinny's record 11: 16-0, Superbowl Victory, Danny promotes Vinny to Executive President of the Universe. Upon his coronation, Vinny has a coronary and passes away. A very sad day for Skins fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Whoever it is (and its looking more like Fassel or Mooch), it'll be interesting to see how much patience Snyder has. What if we finish below .500? Does Dan stick with the guy for a second year, or does he go after Cowher if he decides to come onto the market?

daboysfan Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 After all this crap do you seriously believe that Cowher is coming here?there is a lot of entheusiasm over the hopes of cowher becoming a future redskin coach. but i dont see it happening. cowher is a great coach no doubt, but why would he go to d.c.? cowher lives in n.carolina and for the time being seems content. i believe that he will return to coaching in the future but is waiting on the panthers job. the skins are not a team that a good coach can just come in and clean up the team as he sees fit. if gibbs couldnt do it, neither can cowher. so i think he would pass on them. i actually believe that the cowboys would have a better shot of luring cowher out of retirement in a couple of years. if it became their goal. jones much like snyder has his faults with meddling etc. however he has won 3 superbowls to snyders 2 playoff wins. if cowher did become the redskin coach it would definitely turn your team around, cowhers approach to coaching is very much in the mold of the strengths of your current team.

I would love to see the chin roaming the sidelines in DC...but like you I just don't see it happening. Cowher would probably want the one thing most coaches want more really than money...a sizable say in personel matters...at least as much influence and control as Coach Gibbs had (Team Presidency would solve all that)...but that would mean Dan & Vinny would have to defer a lot to Cowher (Because if it becomes a front-office struggle do you believe that Cowher is going to put up with frik & frak)...and there ain't no way in hell Snyder is going to do that. Bottom line file Bill Cowher here as Redskins Coach under the heading of: Nice Wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodriggo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Honestly, isn't there some kind of rule where if a guy coaches the Giants, Cowboys, or Eagles, he is automatically banned for life from becoming coach of the Washington Redskins? Shouldn't there be? Parcells is the best coach the Giants ever had and I would absolutely abhor him being our coach so why would we want some guy that lucked into A Super Bowl in which his team got it's *** totally kicked? That Giants team sucked and if we had our act together we would have won the NFC that year. Unfortunately The Danny sabotaged it with Jeff George. Good times. For ***** sake!, Hire young. Hire enthusiastic. Hire knowledgable. Hire the future Danny! Not a ******* stop-gap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 My prediction for the Fassel tenure.... 2008-2009: In early February Jim Fassel is named the new Head Coach of the Washington Redskins. With his staff already in place for the most part, after having been chosen FOR HIM by owner Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, Fassel's first few weeks are spent looking at the roster. Late in the month the team releases Mark Brunnel along with a number of other veteran players and announces the restructuring of a half dozen more contracts to get the team down below the NFL salary cap before the March 1st deadline. In what will become a hallmark of Fassel's time in DC he is often the last to know which players have been cut or restructured with the news media and team messageboard ExtremeSkins posting the stories hours before the team's management informs the head coach of the news. For the first time in several years the NFL Free Agency period opens on March 3rd without a big splash or even much movement from Fassel's new team. Despite requests by the coaching staff to look at linemen on both sides of the ball, defensive backs, and a number of other positions team management spends little of the money it saved by cutting veterans in the previous weeks on players with significant NFL experience, instead prefering to look for less expensive "depth" players nobody has ever heard of at a number of positions. Likewise the NFL Draft in April sees the Redskins trading DOWN on several occassions in the early rounds, often for 2009 or 2010 picks and not selecting any big-name players. By the beginning of training camp ESPN and other analysts are comparing the Redskins roster to the replacement player roster for 1987. Peter King goes so far as to indicate that he wasn't aware one player on the Redskins defense "was even still in the NFL". The 2008-2009 innaugural season under Jim Fassel is a disaster for the team. Changing systems on offense, insufficient talent on the roster, infighting among the players and constant meddling from the Front Office into on-field decisions lead to a five win campaign in the nations capital. Some fans stage a walk out during the final home game and empty seats begin to become a familiar sight at FedEx Field later in the season. Coach Fassel is given a vote of confidence by owner Daniel Snyder in the off-season after he is unable to convince Bill Cowher to return to the field as the new coach in private conversations. 2009-2010: Season Ticket turnover reaches a record level as fans attempt to show their displeasure with the Front Office with their wallets. For the first time in years the Redskins Season Ticket Waiting list number actually decreases as requests to be added to the list decline significantly as well. The offseason also sees the departure of additional veteran players through free agency and via roster cuts by the front office. In late February, in what has become a constant and recurring issue Jim Fassel vehimently denies that a particular veteran player and fan favorite has been cut. The next day, when it turns out the rumors were true Fassel revises his statement to say "What I meant was that at that time I was not aware the player had been informed of his release. I was always aware that we intended to cut him, but I didn't want him to hear it in the media instead of from the team" as an attempt to play down his lack of involvement in the player-personnel activities of the team. The veteran departures are replaced with young, inexpensive players from free agency and the later rounds of the draft, and the Redskins find themselves WELL UNDER the 2010 Salary Cap number. The 2009-2010 season is another disasterous one for Fassel and the Redskins. They win only four games, though they are able to pull out two wins in the last three weeks in a vain attempt to save Fassel's job. Fan interest is down significantly and there are questions about whether or not Snyder is trying to sell the team since he and Vinny Cerrato haven't been seen at Redskins Park in the last month of the season. Fassel is fired the morning after the final game of the season and immediately replaced with (Insert big name college or NFL coach with experience) in a major news conference the Monday of the week between the Conference Championship Games and the Super Bowl. The coach is given almost total control over the roster and total control over their coaching staff. With the nearly $15 Million the team is under the cap and the easy, short contracts of the bums and scabs signed over the last two seasons the coach publicly states he believes the team can contend for the NFL East title in 2011 and be a Super Bowl contender in 2012.
