Bills Interview Former Giants Coach Jim Fassel
‘Labeled a “quarterback guru”, Fassel was credited with recruiting and coaching Broncos quarterback John Elway at Stanford. He later coached Elway to his finest season as a pro in 1993, when the Broncos quarterback earned the AFC Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors. That year, Denver’s offense ranked third in the AFC and fifth in the NFL and scored 373 points to rank first in the conference and third in the league. Fassel also tutored Kent Graham into a solid player and helped rejuvenate veteran Boomer Esiason and Kerry Collins.’
Fassel interviews with Bills, talks exclusively with Channel 2
‘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.”‘
Bills have one candidate left after meeting with Fassel
‘Fassel, fired last month by the Giants, who fell to 4-12, flew home to New Jersey after the meeting. He described it “as a good day” in a brief interview with Buffalo’s WGRZ-TV. But Fassel declined to say whether the Bills had made him an offer, adding he hoped to have a better idea of where he stood by this weekend.’
