Jim Fassel snapped into Slim Jim (Zorn) to Clark Judge of CBSSports.com after getting jilted by Dan Snyder for the Redskins coaching job.

Fassel: “Someone said to me that Jim Zorn has three jobs he hasn’t done now. 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.

Apparently Fassel is blissfully unaware that such comments aren’t a great way to land future employ in the league. And the former Giants coach didn’t limit his caustic comments to Zorn.

Fassel on Snyder and the Redskins: “This is a shock to me. … 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. I was looking for the right fit, and I thought this was the right fit because I knew Dan (owner Dan Snyder). It’s a long, twisted story.

Those inadvisable comments and his midseason firing as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator by then-coach Brian Billick in 2006 makes us now think that his confrontational personality may be the reason Fassel hasn’t been a head coach since his decorated tenure with the Giants.

Just because you take a team to the Super Bowl (and lose) doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep playing the nicey-nicey game with the media. Fassel overplayed his cards with the Zorn comment.
