I got to coach the New York Giants to Jim Fassel, by the way.
DougAUDIENCE
I, I didn't mean any different than-

Uh, uh, we, we had one back in 1997.

It was Jim Fassel's first year.

Gary MyersHOST
And, and Tom, you know, it happened to Sean in, in 2002.
Gary MyersHOST
Jim Fassel had given him the play calling responsibilities with the Giants a couple years earlier.
Gary MyersHOST
It might have been the year the Giants went to the Super Bowl in 2000, I can't quite remember.
Gary MyersHOST
But in 2002 they were really struggling offensively.
Jay GlazerGUEST
And, you know, the interesting part was I've talked to Sean, too.
Jay GlazerGUEST
I'm like, "Hey, this happened to you in, in 2002 with Jim Fassel." And he said, you know, back then, too, "I still had to do the game plan, and Jim called the plays." He said, "It was the, the greatest lesson of my life.
Jay GlazerGUEST
I had to go in there and just eat crow [coughs] and make a game plan for him to call the plays, and just, you know, let, let Jim get the glory and the team," which that's what I was doing it for.
Jay GlazerGUEST
Like, we have to win.

Benjamin AllbrightHOST
the offensive coordinator of the New York Giants.
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
Jim Fassel got tired of the, of him not running the ball enough and, and took play calling away from him.
Nick FergusonHOST
I'm sorry, what did you say?
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
Back when he was the OC of the New York Giants, Jim Fassel took play calling away from Sean Payton.
Nick FergusonHOST
Did he at some point return the play calling? Because I think th- that is important because you can have it taken away from you from a short period of time, not like, well, you, you're just pulling everything away from him.
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
Mm.
Nick FergusonHOST
So what, what if that is aspects of reclaiming the, the play calling duties is just maybe the passing game?
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
Yeah, I...
Nick KostosHOST
Payton was calling the plays.
Nick KostosHOST
Jim Fassel stripped him of the play calling.
Nick KostosHOST
And I can...
Nick KostosHOST
And I d- and I know for a fact Payton was pissed about how that went down.

Seventh pick of the Chiefs of the 1994 NFL Draft.
Nick KostosHOST
I'm telling you, I remember this game because the third-stringer was starting for Jacksonville, and I'm like, "Giants got this." Jim Fassel's first year.
Nick KostosHOST
Let's see what the spread was in this game.
Paul DottinoHOST
Look, I, I'll, I'll tell you this before we get to the next call.
Paul DottinoHOST
Go back to the 1997 Giants when Jim Fassel was a rookie head coach, and the Giants won the division with 10 wins.

That was Fassel's first year as head coach.

Danny Kanell was the winning quarterback that season, okay? Go back and look at Danny's stats.
