FASSEL INTERVIEWS WITH BILLS, TALKS EXCLUSIVELY WITH CHANNEL 2
Former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel was in Western New York Tuesday, discussing the vacant Bills head coaching position with general manager Tom Donohoe.
Channel 2 News talked exclusively with Fassel following the meeting. Fassel said things went well.
"It was a good day," Fassel told Channel 2's Adam Benigni. "I've always had a lot of respect for this organization, so it was a good day to come and visit with everybody."
The Bills are expected to be the last stop on Fassel's itinerary. He interviewed for job openings with the Cardinals and Redskins this past weekend. Fassel is also expected to round out the initial list of candidates for the Bills, one of seven teams in the midst of a coaching search.
"I'm keeping an open mind. I don't have a place that I specifically want to go. At some point in time, we'll get down and talk specifics, but right now I have a totally open mind."
As for a time frame, Fassel backed away from earlier reports that said he wanted to have something finalized by the end of the week.
"I thought that that might happen, but like everything else, a lot of guys go through different processes. But I would imagine it would be sometime over the weekend or something like that, I'd have a pretty good idea."
A report in Sunday's Chicago Sun Times quotes a league source as saying the Bills are already talking with Fassel and his agent in terms of an offer. Fassel's agent denies that saying his client is the front runner for jobs in Washington, Arizona, and Buffalo - and is considering his options.
The Bills aren't commenting, saying only that they'll confirm any interviews once they've taken place.
President and General Manager Tom Donahoe has already spoken with former Chicago Bears head coach Dick Jauron, Rams Defensive Coordinator Lovie Smith, as well as Patriots Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel, and Pats Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis.
