The Facts:
Jim Fassel is the front-runner to become the Washington Redskins' next coach. Again. Seemingly on the cusp of being hired two weeks ago by owner Dan Snyder, Fassel re-emerged yesterday after New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's withdrawal from consideration to replace Joe Gibbs.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Times staffer David Elfin notes, Spagnuolo's decision capped a wild month that began Jan. 8 when the Gibbs resigned. Gregg Williams was the early favorite until he was fired as assistant head coach-defense. Seattle assistant Jim Mora briefly held "favorite" status until he opted to remain with the Seahawks. All of that leaves Fassel as the front-runner (although Colts DC Ron Meeks and Steve Mariucci are also still in the mix), which he had been through most of this process. ... Stay tuned. We'll have the decision when (or if?) it's announced.
