Zorn on the 4th of July

The most refreshing thing about the Zorn hire is that we can't reasonably expect this guy to have a winning season his first time out. If we go 1-15 next season, I'll be disappointed . . . but at least I won't be ANGRY. Every other coach was expected to win and win quickly. For those of you that think that the Zorn hiring is a joke and embarrassing, you may be right, but this needed to happen and it needed to happen a long time ago.
The Washington Redskins are dead. Long live the Washington Redskins!

Just laying the facts out there, that's all. A lot of people are talking about his youth and experience, but there is nothing out there that really supports that. I am hoping the guy is Andy Reid II in terms of a QB coach becoming a HC but no need for blowing sunshine up the backsides.
Well seeing as how the term young is a relative term that depends on an indivduals perception your not really laying any facts out there now are you.See, I can split hairs too.I also dont see how I am blowing sushine up anyones backside but whatever you are entitled to your opinion.Anyways, I like the hire only because it maybe means that Snyder is no longer picking retreads and looking to start something fresh.Maybe it will work maybe it wont, none of use know.

Maybe they will bring over Marcus Trufant and him and Springs can be advocates together
Forecasters are saying that Trufant gets tagged in Seattle.
This hire is baffling.

Well, I think this is a good move, though I don't know a lot about Jim Zorn. From what people are saying about him, I get the feeling he is, as Shawn Springs says, very smart and very sharp.
As a point for his character, I like that he is very involved with Medical Teams International, which is dedicated to getting proper health care to disadvantaged people in developing countries.
Character counts, and everyone seems to praise his character.
He has had long tutelage under one of the great coaches in the NFL, Mike Holmgren, who wanted to keep him.
Intuitively, he seems like a person who is ready to lead an NFL team, and be successful.
I think we should welcome Jim Zorn and be supportive of him.
