DC SPORTS BOG finds who Jim Fassel really blames for losing out on the Redskins job. Dan Snyder? Jim Zorn? Vinny Cerrato?
Nope - ’twas those evil, evil bloggers.
The ex-Giants coach said on John Thompson’s local radio show that his shot at coaching the ‘Skins was scuttled by online opinionators agitated at such a scenario.
“When I got the New York Giants job I remember telling my family that, ‘You know, you cannot hold the lead in these jobs in major markets.’ Because you’ve got bloggers, and they’re saying, ‘No, this isn’t the right guy, and that ain’t the right guy,’ and you can’t hold the lead, because you are going to take the hit. I mean, when you’re the lead dog, you’re going to take the hit. And I think the longer it went, the longer it went, the longer it went…“
Sounds like somebody’s been listening to Stephen A. Smith.

Jim Fassel is the most overrated coach in sports history. I watched this guy call the Daffy Duck offense at the University of Utah and give up 70 point games. He was awful.
He is lucky he rode his coaching career as long as he did. Come on…. the only thing that prevented Fassel from getting a job was being a crappy coach. End of story.
