Twitter: Fassel: Anger frontrunner for P job

I don't really like hearing this. Niswander was amazing in his stint last year. Dude boomed the hell outta ball for us.. Declaring Fassell's "guy" the frontrunner at this point seems like maybe we're not really engaging in any real competition. And I don't like it.

If Niswander really is not there for the reason stated then I wouldn't want him on my team.

Might need some Anger management for Cowboyszone posters the first time he shanks a punt.

Fassel did same with Zeurlein and Forbath.

Forbath outperformed Zeurlein IMO but Fassel familiarity and comfort with Zeurlein guaranteed him the spot.

I have said many times over the years that every position, even those with star players, should be up for competition every single year regardless of who they are or what they did in the past.

That said, I am wondering in this case if Fassel may be saying it publicly to let Niswander know that not showing up is hurting his chances.

Correct. Now he's anointing Anger over a recently more productive Niswander.

The entitlement is strong in Frisco.

Well, hard to compete for the coaches first impressions when you are home.

I see nothing wrong with Fassels comments since Hunter is at home.

Don't forget that Niswander was the Cowboys punter for the last 7-8 games last year. Fassell got to see plenty of him and what he saw should have made him excited to work with him this year. Dude averaged over 47 yards per punt over 8 games.. That's nothing to sneeze at.

I agree but we got competition now with Anger signed. Hunter is at home when Anger is out there.

I like Hunter and want him to win but he's doing himself no favors right now

Agreed. Anger I believe kicks off as well and would take some off of Greg. Could be why he has the leg up

I guess Niswander will just have to go out and out perform Anger. Personally I don't care who wins the job as long as it is the best man.

I mean we know that's the direction this team seems to be in when it comes to coaching. They are hiring their friends. They are going to play their buddies or players they are familiar with. Players will not be rewarded based on play over friendship.

Doesn't seem like he has a chance though. To me it should be Niswander's job to lose and then let him lose it if Anger out plays him.

Our fans continue to be the worst.

I think Niswander is busy dropping a new track for his album "Not All who Niswander Are Lost." What'cha got Bossman Fat?

Zero chance if he doesn't show up

Dallas has not released him and it is up to him to go out and perform. A player can sit and pout about a comment like that or they can get out there and show they are better. I fully expect Niswander will get his chance to compete. Unless Cowboys just cut Niswander before camp he has a chance.

Don't be lumping us all in with people like this..

Imagine a grown man being afraid to come out and practice.
