2008 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

[mpmcgraw]

I know I must be missing something, but I don't get this picture:

I was just about to post that. 

The pft guy calls into WIP for some of the hosts every now and then, he might just not like Eskin.

I saw a little kid wearing a Sean Taylor RIP t-shirt this morning.  His mom looked like IGY with a wig.

Any plans to gather at taterskins Park & show support of our new HC?

Is anyone organizing a gathering either before or after the press conference tomorrow? Let's show our new HC how great taterskin fans are at supporting their team!

Mods: I didn't see any threads like this one, so apologies in advance if I somehow missed something and duplicated the suggestion.

ES is the reason why Fassell wasn't hired.

Great job guys. We kept putting the pressure on....and the Danny finally gave in. Zorn is the best choice we could of made outside of perhaps Spagnola and even thats a question mark.

I AM SO GLAD FASSELL IS NOT THE HEAD COACH AND EXTREME SKINS is 80% of the reason! All Hail to this board

no way...you dont think he reads this board. Its his board after all. If we had been 100% behind Fassell when the rumor was first annouced..he would be our head coach right now

It may not have been this board strictly, but I can tell you that it contributed. Every time I heard Fassel's name being mentioned in the media, it was added that "negative fan reaction" was the reason he hadn't been hired. And I do think this was a mitigating factor. Did anyone want Fassel? No.

NFC Champs next year. Book it.

They're falling off the deep end over there.

Notice the mispelling of "maroon."

And so the taterskins off-season championship campaign begins.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Fassel ripped the Skins pretty good; PFT posted the story about it.

They have won the off-season championships every year since synder bought the team.
They just need to work on those other seasons.

FASSEL BURNS BRIDGE BACK TO NFL GIG?

Three days ago, it looked like Jim Fassel would be the next head coach of the taterskins.  Two days ago, it all changed, in a surprising way.

Count Fassel among the perplexed.

"This is a shock to me," Fassel told Clark Judge of CBSSports.com.

"It's a long, twisted story," Fassel added.

"There was something going on behind the scenes, there's no question about it.  I thought things were falling my way, then, suddenly, this happens.  It's strange."

The condensed version?  Fassel thinks that Executive V.P. of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato promoted Zorn behind the scenes, and that Cerrato GENERALLY doesn't know what he's doing.

"Dan [Snyder] wanted to make a big splash, and I think he was worried about the Baltimore thing," Fassel said, referring to his termination from the Ravens during the 2006 season.  "He worried about the public relations, and he didn't know which way to go.

"I heard someone say there are no more George Youngs or Jim Finks in this league, people who really know the game.  And I think that happened here.  I don't think Dan surrounded himself with enough football people."

Though Fassel probably is right, he is doing himself no favors (in our view) by complaining about the situation.  The practical reality is that, moving forward, other teams will be leery of doing the dance with him for fear of having to suffer the spray from his sour grapes.

Speaking of sour grapes, Fassel also takes a dig at the man who got the job, Jim Zorn.

"Someone said to me that Jim Zorn has three jobs he hasn't done now," Fassel said.  "He's a head coach, and he's never done it.  He's an offensive coordinator, and he's never done it.  And he's calling the plays, and he's never done it."

The difference between Zorn and Fassel, however, is that Zorn has a job.  Fassel doesn't, and his decision to talk publicly about it (compelling as it may be) might be the final straw that prevents him from ever becoming an NFL head coach again.
