Opinions on Jim Fassel From Giants Fans
I just conducted a survey to gauge their opinions on Fassel. Here's what they are saying:
Question about Fassel : BufBill1180 : 1/6 1:27 PM
Hi, I'm a Bills fan and have been hearing that Jim Fassel is the leading candidate for the Bills head coaching job. I was just wondering what you guys really think of him. I know that this season pissed you off, but I was just wondering if there were any positives and what are the negatives from him? Thanks for the responses. Mike

You're going to get 2 very different responses from this group. My take, Fassel was a good not great coach, that when times got tough, took everything on himself, sometimes it worked (last years playoff run), sometimes he didn't (this year). He spread himself too thin and didn't delegate properly. I think he even took this too far with his assistants, not taking them to task for it, yet accepting the blame. Obviously I don't know what happened behind the scenes, but that was my impression.
He has a good offensive mind, and is pretty flexible in his approach. Compare the 1997 team to last years playoff team to see what I mean. Overall good coach, great guy.

Honestly... : Britt in VA : 1/6 1:34 PM
I think the guy was a quality coach that had his ups and downs contrary to what the majority on here think. He will have your team performing pretty well, he'll just have a problem w/ consistency. Fassel may also be able to resurrect Bledsoe's career like he did w/ Collins. I think Jim and the Bills would be a good fit personally. He is a good pick up for you.

most of us liked him as a person; he was a real good representative of this organization.
As a coach, you'll find that most felt he was either (1) mediocore or (2) a bit better than average.
His record says he may have been underestimated by the masses. Personally, I found him to be an average HC but you could also do much worse.

Two preconditions to offering Fassel a job. : Big Blue Blogger : 1/6 1:35 PM
Require that he hire a real OC;
Require that he hire a real game management expert, not a part-timer like Mike Priefer.
Good luck. I think you'll end up with Weis, and he'll be very good.

Could be a great fit at Buffalo : Rick from Dallas : 1/6 1:35 PM
Fassell is a very good offensive minded coach which is exactly what Buffalo needs with the number two rated defense in the NFL.A good guy who the players really like.With all the BS that went down this year I thought the players never quit on Fassell...there was just a lack of NFL talent playing at the end of the season due to all the injuries to starters that the Giants suffered this year.

Fassel : Fred in Atlanta : 1/6 1:36 PM
is a good coach not a great coach. His first few years, his teams did better than expected. As the years went by, I think the players started tuning him out. He might have gotten to close to some of the players. I believe his worse mistake was hiring Johnie Lynn as DC after Fox left. A lot of people will critize him harsely, because he is not Bill Parcells.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. Our GM wants to keep Bledsoe and so does the owner. I remember Collins before Fassel and he sucked. He did some magic and helped Collins become better. Maybe he has that magic to fix what is wrong with Bledsoe. We could only hope!

Pros: Good offensive imagination, quarterback guru, his teams seem to improve over the course of the season, he knows how to identify and correct problem areas on the team, players respect him and play hard for him and is willing to shake things up to get his team to listen
Cons: falls into lapses of predictability in play calling, perceived by some as being too soft on his players, relatively lax training and conditioning program could be a cause of the numerous injuries Giants have faced under his tenure, goes into a shell with big leads, and lacks a killer instinct.

I believe Bledsoe, while performing piss poor this year, : Britt in VA : 1/6 1:40 PM
got a little too much of the blame up there. I think that if you guys were to dump him, he would be picked up and possibly succeed elsewhere. You'd have to wonder if Parcell's would be licking his chops over that. Bledsoe would definitely benefit from Fassel's guidance. I mean, Fassel has helped one of the greatest ie: Elway.
