More coaching drama

So who are we to believe?

According to this tidbit from ESPN's John Clayton, the Skins are set to name Jim Fassel as head coach ... after the team conducts 1-2 more interviews after the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Colts assistant Ron Meeks has been scheduled for another interview with Dan Snyder and there are now rumors circulating that Snyder's "mystery" candidate could be Steve Mariucci?

My only thought at this point is that this thing is now messier than a soap opera, Skins fans are getting on each other about how much Snyder has screwed up the team since he took over and there seems to be no end in site.

At this point the only thing I can say for sure is that things will definitely be different next year and that continuity Joe Gibbs was trying to bring back in his second run may have just been thrown out the window. I think I'm to the point now where I would just like someone to wake me up when this nightmare is over.

Zorn hired, Williams out

According to ESPN, the Skins finally hired Jim Zorn as offensive coordinator, despite the fact the team doesn't have a coach.

My only comment on this hire at this point is isn't it weird to hire an OC before a head coach? Just a thought.

Also, ESPNEWS has been reporting that Gregg Williams is no longer a candidate for the head coach position and that he actually fell out of favor during his 4 interviews. That must have been some falling out considering he was given a huge raise not too many seasons ago to not pursue other head coaching jobs so he could take over for Joe Gibbs when he left right? Or did I only dream that since no one seems to be mentioning that now.

Well, at least we don't have the problems the Raiders do. People complain about him but at least he hasn't lost it like "Tracksuit" Al Davis. Some things never change.

The Super Bowl is upon us, so it's time for lists

In what is sure to be only one of many lists - and provides us with a welcome break from the sluggish coaching search that is underway - EPSN has ranked the performances of all 82 starting QB's.

And while the list is top heavy with the performances of QB's from the bay area, it's nice to see Doug Williams' 4 TD performance in Super Bowl XXII crack the top 3. The first game I actually remember watching was Super Bowl XXII and what made it even more special is the fact I lived in San Diego at the time. I even remember touring the stadium the day before and getting to see the field all painted up for the festivities.

It's a shame things haven't been nearly as exciting in a long time but hopefully the Skins are about to turn the corner and become a top franchise again like they were in the late 1980s, early 1990s.
