Whew -- I thought it was John that died at first, rather than his Dad. Nevertheless, sympathy and condolences to the family for the loss of Jim. RIP to Jim and sincere sympathy to the entire Fassel clan. Here's also hoping John enjoys many more years of success with the Cowboys. We're so glad he's ours!

------He always seemed like a good man, even when he was coaching the other side. RIP, coach.

I'm sad to hear this. Fassel was a good coach and terrific human being.

"LIKE ETERNITY." Nothing else matters. That phrase .

I was thinking more along the lines of:
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus
And you will be saved.

yes indeed 1000% true. But I was more referring to what you said rather than expound upon it.

I understand now,
I can be a little slow sometimes!
Thanks for your patience.
Life is so short, we need to take time to consider the other side and what decisions we make now that affect our eternity.

RIP to the man who led the team to a Super Bowl in 2000 & helped heal New York in 2001.

how can we forget when the Giants were 1-8 and he said ;'this team is going to the playoffs....and they did!

He seemed a class person and good coach. Godspeed, Sir.

I always wondered why Fassel never got another HC job. It was weird. Like the league black balled him. Had some success. Coach of the Year. Always seemed like a good guy. It was very odd especially considering all the retread knucklehead coaches.

RIP Jim.

Thoughts and prayers to the Fassel family, Jim was a class act in my book.

I always respected that season for him. He had his players' backs and they had his. Hated to see see it as a rival but respected the hell out of it.

RIP, Coach.

Here's a video some dude did about what an excellent coach Jim Fassel was. It makes me wish he had been the Cowboys' coach. I hadn't realized his team had been on the ropes that year they won the NFC Championship and advanced to the Super Bowl. Like a smart coach, he made adjustments and turned the situation around. I did not realize he had done the treat home games like road games thing. Hey, if it works, do it!

You don't have to be a Giants fan to love and respect Jim Fassel. Rest in peace, Coach.
