Frez Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Many reports coming out that Jim Fassel already has a deal in place with his good buddy Tom Donahoe(Buffalo Bills GM). Time will tell i guess. A radio station is reporting it out of Chicago and the Sporting News radio broadcast is aslo. Something posted on Profootballtalk.com about the Bears hearing about it and telling Fassel to forget the interview with them. The Bears are pissed. We will see.............. Frez>>>> Bills fan!

J33Edwards Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 did they interview a minority candidate yet? Remember there were reports that we had a deal with Fassel immediately too. I think these writers love to make stuff up and see how often it is reported by radio and tv as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Originally posted by TC4 How could the Bills have interviewed Lovey Smith if his team hasn't been eliminated from the playoffs yet? a coach can interview for a higher position even if his team is still in the playoffs.

Hauss Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Assistants with playoff teams could interview during thier bye week and/or the club could grant permission. As for executives-you needed permission--the NFL wouldn't let the Fins interview Pioli for their GM job until the Pats were out of the playoffs.

Frez Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Haslett Interested? Days after it came out that Jim Haslett does not have an out clause in his contract with the Saints, another report says he is definitely interested in the Bills job. WKBW-TV is reporting that he has approached the Saints' owner about his interest in the Bills job. The report also says that he wants to talk to his good friend Tom Donahoe about it and he feels the Saints will let him out of his deal. Of course, if the Bills do want to talk to him and get permission, it would likely cost them draft picks in compensation to get Haslett from the Saints. EPSN's Chris Mortenson weighed in on the Bills coaching possibilites on NFL Coutdown this morning. He said that the team, as expected, will interview Jim Fassel, Dick Jauron, and Tom Coughlin this week. He feels that the team will go with an offensive minded coach and listed Pats offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss and Steelers offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey as possible front runners. The interesting note was that he included Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel as a sleeper candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frez Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Fassel To Interview Tuesday: As Jim Fassel completed his interview with Washington the Bills contacted him yesterday to express interest in him as a candidate for their open head coaching position. After visiting with Arizona and Chicago he is expected to meet with Tom Donahoe on Tuesday. Fassel is a candidate in at least five open coaching positions. Some are suggesting he is number one on the Bills wish list for a head coach. ESPN's John Clayton speculated yesterday that Fassel will end up in Buffalo. There is a chance he may not even make it to Buffalo for an interview however. He has long been considered the front runner in Arizona where he was the offensive coordinator before coming to the Giants. He may leave Arizona with a contract offer in hand.

bulldog Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Fassel will not end up in Arizona. Dennis Green will not end up in Washington. Ray Rhodes will not be a head coach in the NFL in 2004. All three are just guesses on my part, but I'll see how it plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
