Official release from the Redskins in reference to Blache and Zorn.

Blache, Zorn Named Coordinators (http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=34109)

Wow. I'm very happy that Blache will run the defense. This is good news. Who the heck will want to be the coach after all this I wonder?

Snyder?

Thanks Dan......Moron!

I don't think there will be any less candidates (well maybe one less) for head coach. Blache will carry on the defensive tradition that has been put in place (there's your continuity), Zorn is a highly respected offensive candidate who was no doubtedly brought in to spark the growth of what has been a fairly stagnant offense for years. I think it's all good news.

Really? As the HC, you are ultimately responsible for what happens on the field and if the team doesn't fare well, you are getting fired. With that in mind, would you really want to go to a team where the OC and DC have been hand-picked for you? And what if you have a system that is different than the ones they employ? Are you going to run yours and have ineffective coordinators? It's one thing for HC's to want to control personnel matters, but I think most people looking at a HC gig would like some control over their fate.

Wow this is crazy

ESPN is reporting the same thing. Well now to find another team to root.
ESPN - Redskins dismiss Williams, Saunders; promote Blache to lead defense - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3215817)

C'mon now. We stuck around through Spurrier, we'll live through this ;)

LOL. True we did live through Spurrier. I think what gets me is that Snyder hasn't change, and he's the X factor in our team's misfortunes.

According to the article Greg Williams has been fired.
I guess Snyder thinks Blache is a better coach?
Snyder was qouted as saying he is listening to the advice from coaches he is interviewing from other teams. Not sure I agree with that. Rival coaches do not want to see us do better.

My main concern with this rather strange and process is we are really limiting ourselves as to the HC position. The new incoming coach is going to have accept Zorn and Blache running his to most important units. I do not know of any stong HC canidate that would accept that unless the guy is desperate for a job.
The other possiblity is we already have an under the table agreement with one of the coaches in the Superbowl and he was ok with Zorn and Blache.
This entire process is not ideal.
