Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
That's what The Sun is reporting. It's good he may get another shot as a head coach. I think he was hurt (along with Matt Cavanaugh) by being scapegoats in Billick's horrid offense for so long. I'd wish him luck, but then I'd be rooting for Snyder and the Deadskins and we can't have that!

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
No offense intended but Fassel only had 3 winning seasons and a SB blowout to show for his stint in NY.

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
sweet :)
Maybe he'll hire Billick as OC."Unitas was so outraged that he cut all ties to the relocated team. Other prominent old-time Colts followed his lead. After the NFL returned to Baltimore as the Ravens for the 1996 season, Unitas and most of the other old-time Colts regarded THE RAVENS as the TRUE SUCCESSORS of the Baltimore Colts!"

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
Have you heard of the Skins, Falcons, or Dolphins even contacting Billick for an interview when they were doing their searches? I haven't. If you talk to other people around the country, you get the feeling that Billick really isn't thought of too highly outside of Bmore. He's arrogant, and his offense has been lousy for 9 years. He'll milk his free $15 mil, and then most likely get into broadcasting.
Billick as OC under HC Fassel would be hilarious though.

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
No. But why would they? Did anyone contact Cowher heading into this year?
If BB has *any* sense, he will take some time off the grind, and will come back on his terms. By most standards - winning seasons, playoff appearances, SB wins - he was a good coach, and will get attention when he throws his hat into the ring.
Those of you who think 'high flying offense' is an important factor in deciding your next head coach, consider Exhibit A: Bill Belichick, HC for the Cleveland Browns. He turned out ok with his next gig, didn't he?Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
Dig it, Billick needs a roster with overwhelming talent to compete. I've said for quite a few years that billick has squander'd more talent than any coach in football. I remember not so long ago when billick was on the hot seat but ultimately survived, some in the fan base were stating
'if billick were fired, teams would be lining up for his services " or "billick would be unemployed all of ten minutes"
Not that I believed the rediculous statement to begin with but it looks like they were proven dead wrong.A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins. - Benjamin Franklin

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
Who brought Billick into the conversation or said he was a hot commodity, certainly not I although if Fassel gets another shot I feel more optimistic that Billick will at some point in the future.
As far as why hasn't Billick been granted any interviews I would assume it's just to soon. As many here have said, he would be stupid to go back to work now when he can be play on Mr Whimsey's money for a few million. Plus I don't remember, though I could be wrong, any coach who was fired getting another job right away. It seems like there is usually at least a year's cooling off before they get back to it.AZRAVEN

Re: Jim Fassel front runner for Skins job?
The commented on PTI that the skins have interviewed Greg Williams (I think that's his name) four times. They don't have a clue what they are doing down there.
