The Official "Will you still root for the Fassel-led Skins" Thread (Merged)

[SWFLSkins]

With all the talk about hoping for Snyder to sell the team, I won't root for The Skins if they hire Fassel, why is Vinny in charge and blah, blah blah....I thought it should be written....Who is staying on board and who is jumping ship if Fassel is hired as HC?

--------------

Personally I think Fassel is hired to replace Saunders and Williams is either the HC or the DC... but I know about as much as anyone. What Bubba wrote about the media is true and as Schultzy used to say,,, I KNOW Nuthing!

But hey for the record, who is jumping?

I'm more likely to root for them with Fassel as the HC than I would be with Gregg Williams as the HC.

I think the majority of people are just worried. Hell I'm worried with the likes of Snyder and Vinny making these decisions.

I'll still root for the team but I'll probably start to attend less games. At least with Gibbs you knew the team wouldn't give up and would always fight till the bell.

One thing I remember about the Giants with Fassel is that the same couldn't be said.

I still routed for the team when Norv was here. Fassell at least has a decent track record.

[riggins44]

As a true and diehard fan of the Redskins, I will support my team regardless if
the Coach is Fassel, Williams, Johnson, or Cowher.

Anyone that jumps ship due to the coach is not a true Redskin fan.

[onnie007]

I will but my heart won't be in it like it was under Gibbs I & II. I think I've just mentally blocked out the memory of the performances of teams under Norv Turner, Marty Schottenheimer & Steve Spurrier. I think the team should be led by Greg Williams. We will regress if there is no continuity and a new offense and defense is installed.

[OxonHillSkinsFan89]

If I rooted for them during the Spurrier Era....Nuff Said.

[Califan007]

If signing Deion didn't make me jump ship, nothing will...

[Walking Deadman]

Yes,
I weathered the Spurrier era, at least Fassel has won in the NFL before.

So I've been at the bottom with this team.....the Fassel era I can't think would be worse that the ol' ball coach.

[RedskinsNation]

I root for the Washington Redskins regardless who is the coach.....and i do it like a madman!!!

GW or not...HTTR4LIFE.

[kingfish50]

I'll root for them but my expectations have been lowered. No more money to Dan as I'll just watch them on TV and stop buying any Redskin merchandise. Fassel? Give me a break! Damn you Cerato and damn you Snyder!

[warrentonboy]

I will too, but Snyder makes it difficult to have continuity as a fan. Its been over a decade, and we still are unsure of whats going on with our team. Even when Gibbs was here, it wasn't very stable. Granted, I am a huge JG fan, the game passed him by and there were too many chiefs and not enough indians.

[Moorecards]

I was watching them since early 1960's seen many up & downs and they still are my team no matter who owns them and coachs them. I have seen all owners make bad decisions thruout their ownership, Including Jack Kent Cooke when Gibbs left the 1st time and he "hired inhouse" with Richie Pettibone and we know how that worked out. If Fassel is hired, which NO ONE knows if it will happen, I will cheer them just like I have for since the 60's.

Good post I agree 100%.

[LiveStrongSkins]

People are frustrated that our team is run by a irrational dictator. Anyone who really cares about the Redskins sees the emotional bond this team went through after tragedy and they rallied around each other. Gregg Williams was a huge part of that. This team found alot out about each other. Some continuity, healthy roster, and a good draft would have given this team a full head of steam going into next season. Now, we will have sour players that on top of feeling betrayed have to learn both a new offense and defense. It's complete garbage and Im allowed to voice that. I will still root for the skins no matter what but you can never convince me that breaking this whole thing up after Gibbs left is the right move.
