Jim Fassel -- this must be a joke!

Yesterday, I said that there is no chance Gregg Williams is coming back.

Today, the Washington Post's Jason La Canfora cites league sources in laying out the Redskins search with Jim Fassel as the leading candidate.

The Washington Times' Ryan O'Halloran admits he got beat on this, although points to a discussion he had with Fassel on Sunday in which Fassel denied he was a candidate. Perfect.

O'Halloran also makes the same point I did yesterday: that the hiring Fassel likely means Saunders and Williams are out.

I can't figure this out for the life of me, but La Canfora reports that Fassel was apparently the leading candidate for the 'Skins job before Gibbs took it. He instead went on to help manage the Ravens sputtering offense and "develop" Kyle Boller.

As you can tell, I'm not a fan of the move. It seems the only thing that stays the same in Washington is that nothing does.

Check out how popular this idea is with other 'Skins fans.
