Zorn becomes SKINS new OC.

Hard to prove Zorn is a better OC than Saunders....look what happened the last month of the season...very productive offense and a significant playoff run with an old QB...everyone from the Chiefs said it took a full 2 years to get the system down....what does synder do? ditch Saunders when it is finally starting to work....for who?
Zorn...a flashy name with minimal experience....

Am I wrong? Doesn't Zorn have zero OC experience?

Wow...going from the most experience offensive coordinator to the least...thats one way to improve offensive performance....

Geeze, I hope Im wrong and Zorn tears it up....his youth is good if he does.
But damn...it looks like the first step in blowing up a strong coaching staff.

Zorn is 54; 6 years younger than Saunders, and 5 years older than Gregg Williams.

Is it possible for a new OC to adopt the complete 700 page playbook from the old OC?

I'm sure it would be easier for Zorn to adapt than all 22 Offensive players to change, don't you think?

Not that he would of course use all 700 pages, but gosh it seems an awful waste of good paper!

Dannyboy hires an OC first.....what the hell is that?....seems we will have Jim Fossil face as our coach......he must of been the low hanging fruit that would allow Dannyboy and Vinny C. to meddle with the team and play their fantasy football. I'm sure G. Williams basically told Danny that he would be the "coach" and in charge of everything and Dannyboy didn't like that. Dannyboy better be at the first press conference to answer the question...."You kept talking about continuity and being so close when Gibbs left....so why did you blow up the coaching staff?".........hopefully everything will turn out well in the end...but if we blow the first 4 games with a "new" outside coach.....Dannyboy better get ready for the "Fire Snyder" chants.....

I agree with this post 100%. The moves this front office is taking make no sense but hopefully it works out for the best. HTTR.

Am I the only one that think Nick Saban and Jim Zorn look almost exactly alike?

I know no one (many of you) wants to hear it, but does anyone even remotely consider the possibility that Campbell was asked what he felt most comfortable with and the answer wasn't Saunders?

In college they asked him a similar question, they said would he be more comfortable using a pen, or a pencil, he said he would be more comfortable with a box of crayons.

Um I read in the Virginian Pilot down here in Virginia Beach a couple days ago that he hoped Saunders would stay offensive Coordinator because he knows the playbook and has learned alot from him.

I actually like the hiring of Zorn but I can't stand how the front office is dealing with negative fan backlash of a possible Fassel hiring. Trying to make like G. Williams a bad guy and not fit to be promoted is criminal.

If you don't want to promote him to HC that's fine, but don't come with this fictional event to get Skins fans at ease with letting him go.

Nothing against Zorn, but hiring an OC before a head coach shows just how clueless Vinny and Danny are about conducting a coaching search. Let's hypothetically assume that Snyder is putting all his eggs in the Fassel basket. What if Fassel has a sudden change of heart about coaching here? Where does that leave us? You ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS lock down the head coach FIRST, then let him assemble his staff. With the Zorn signing, we can stop speculating about McDaniel and Spagnuolo as candidates, because I can't imagine either interviewing for an owner who took the prerogative to assemble the coaching staff prior to their interview.

100% agree...this would stupid unless we already have a coach.

No. Not very likely.

Anybody else think this is putting the cart before the horse? An OC before an HC? Maybe the decision has already been made.

thats my thinking as well.things that make you go hmmm doesn,t it..
