75 years old (Born on August 31, 1949)
Happy Birthday, Coach Fassel! You're the only guy who could make Giants fans smile and sweat simultaneously. Your legendary 1997 NFL Coach of the Year award still shines brighter than a stadium full of camera flashes—proof that you knew exactly how to call plays (and bluff opponents) better than anyone else.Your bold playoff guarantee in 2000 remains iconic; it was like Babe Ruth calling his shot—but with shoulder pads and a headset. Thanks for giving us unforgettable moments on the sidelines, Jim. May your birthday be filled with fewer penalties, more touchdowns—and absolutely no instant replays!
