This Sunday, November 16nd at 8:00pm, SPORTSTALK1240 host Jake Brown will welcome former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel to the program. Fassel is expected to come on the air at about 8:05pm, and the interview should take place for approximately 20 minutes. Jake will speak with Fassel about his coaching career with the Giants and his recent run as head coach, general manager, and president of the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League. Jake will also speak to Fassel about what he is doing today and his hopes for the future.
Fans can submit a question for Jim by tweeting to @sportstalk1240 with the hashtag #AskJimFassel, and our host Jake Brown will try to ask it during the interview on Sunday.
Jim Fassel began his coaching career in 1985 as an assistant coach at the University of Utah and later worked with John Elway at Stanford University. Prior to becoming New York Giants head coach, Fassel served as an assistant coach with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, and Oakland Raiders. During Fassel's time as the New York Giants head coach, his teams were known for numerous post-season runs in December and for winning big games, such as against the previously undefeated Denver Broncos in 1998. In 1997, he was named NFL coach of the year. He resurrected the career of quarterback Kerry Collins and received acclaim for his "playoff guarantee" in the 2000 season, during which he led the Giants to an improbable Super Bowl appearance.
