Clayton said it's Fassel

[Mr. Miyagi]

John Clayton just said on ESPN Radio this morning that it's likely going to be Jim Fassel going to Buffalo. He said Tom Coughlin is almost a lock to the Giants, so he's probably out for us.

But he also mentioned that Mike Holmgren could be a surprise firing out of Seattle. I would much rather see Holmgren in Buffalo than Fassel. Fassel has not impressed me with his career with the Giants. Even the year they went to the SuperBowl, they still weren't that good. They have weapons over there in NY: Collins, Barber, Toomer, Shockey, and the D is supposed to be quite decent. Yet he has not been able to do anything significant with them.

No thanks on Fassel please.

fassel was in NY for how long? 7 years?

how many years out of that did they make the playoffs?

[Tatonka]

that is a real question.. i dont know the answer.

I don't like Fassel as much as some of the other candidates, but I'm not sold on Holmgren, either. What has he really done since leaving Green Bay?

With Coughlin apparently out of the running, I'm beginning to lean toward Jim Haslett.

Took over for Reeves after 1996 season.

1997 - 10-5-1 lost wildcard
1998 - 8-8 no playoffs
1999 - 7-9
2000 - 12-4 lost super bowl
2001 - 7-9
2002 - 10-6 lost wildcard
2003 - 4-11

Fassel will have offensive plays that will include the TE a a lot. If Fassel comes, maybe he'll bring his OL coach with him.Could be a good thing for Drew. We're stuck with him anyways so try to build a team around him.

I call Haslett Gregg South. He's done squat in New Orleans.

Just as long as he doesn't bring his Special teams coach!

That's a way to piss in my rice crispies.

[justasportsfan]

Anyone but GW. What's Fassel's offensive mentallity anyways. Is he a type of coach who could make use of the talent he has? I know Hasslet hasn't done that with NO.

Levy likes the guy too.

My main concern with Fassel is that his players have quit on him - they just mailed it in against us. That said, a half trained monkey would be preferable to GW.
