for coach, what do you folks think? That is, if he doesn't take over at Baltimore. I think Fassel, given what we have, would succeed. And sooner rather than later. You folks remember his super year as OC here? That was fun.

Redsz said:Fassel was one of the applicants for the HC job after Dave Mac was canned. He turned up totally un-prepared and had a horrible interview with the Cardinals.
Fassel was also brought to Baltimore to 'turn the offense around'. And it has regressed under him.
No thanks on Fassel. And no thanks on a major coaching change after a year and a half.
ajcardfan said:Yeah, Fassel would generate about as much excitement as a turd in a punch bowl. I'm not sure who I would nominate to take over for Green, but it sure wouldn't be him.
AzCards21 said:Green gets four years. Lets just hope during that time the O-line gets a few weeks and the QB gets half a season to work together too.
We can't keep rolling the freekin dice every week with changes on the team or every two years with a coach.
It just hasn't worked for our magical two year turn around. Maybe it takes three or four?
Mitch said:Red Desert: Good suggestion. I too was very high on Fass because he did a good job here when he was OC. I still think he's a better than average OC, but I question whether he has the charisma to be the strong motivator the Cards need to shake them out of these duldrums.
Here is a short list of college candidates who might be answers:
Coaches who bring a special talent plus the motivational skills that work with today's athletes:
Bobby Petrino, HC, Louisville (one of the premier offensive minds in the NCAA)
Rich Rodriguez, HC, West Virginia (love the way he coaches QBs to call plays at the l.o.s. in reaction to the defensive alignments).
Frank Beamer, HC, Virginia Tech (might be impossible to lure him away from his alma mater w/o having won a National Championship yet...but this guy is a master preparer...and will win games with special teams better than any coach in the country).

nidan said:I had the dubious please of sitting in the press conference. To say he was uninspiring and lacked enthusiam/energy would be way to kind.
It appeared he swaned in expecting to get the job by default and was stunned at the diificulty of the interview. He just didn't seem to be with it at all.
LVCARDFREAK said:Now I know you have finally gone off the deep end. Bobby Petrino? Rich Rod? I am the biggest WVU fan you will probably ever meet and I can tell you this. Since Rich Rod has taken over at WVU this team has had one year of underperforming (last year) and they are perrenial some of the most penalized teams int he country. Absolutley no discipine on his teams. Constant personal fouls, thuggery, and general malaise....Oh and about 4 head coaches use the same technique of recalling plays at the LOS, it isnt just Rich Rod....No thanks
Petrino? His defensive philosophy is somewhere between "I dont give a rats ass about stopping the other team" and "whats that position called again that calls the plays on defense?" You get my point! Plus his teams have no heart as witnessed by the complete collapse at Sout Florida and WVU this year....And not that it matters on this baord but this is the same guy who secretly flew to Auburn to interview for the HC job before the AD had even announced they were going to fire Tuberville. Class act he is! :roll:
Man your blind hatred of Green is effectiing you pal!
ajcardfan said:Yes, the way they choked away that game to Northwestern on Saturday was truly stunning. It was also memorable when they came down here last year and lost to ASU 44-7.
