If Zorn becomes HC, then who would be our OC?? I don't mind giving someone who is nobody a chance at HC position.. It's better than all choices we have right now, I guess? How about Ron Meeks?

We're talking about an owner who wants to win now because he too often still thinks like the fans who want to win now. Not really. All owners and fans want to win now, why are we any different and we have the talent to do so. We just came off a playoff season with a large amount of injuries, with some luck on the injury front next season, a solid draft we have all the tools to win now. Getting this coaching staff assembled is a key factor, and of course on the same page. We have maintained most of our other vital coaching staff, Buges, Blache, Smith, Gray, Byner, etc. And Zorn signed a 5 year deal, so to me that at least shows they are willing to commit to the guy for the future. I like our chances with Zorn. redwagonskins 02-09-2008, 09:59 PM I believe this had more to do with VC not wanting Fassel You have to give VC props for hanging it all out there. He can't hide behind a HOF to avoid taking responsibility for any mistakes. He went out and hired a QB coach and everybody who watches football is going to know exactly who is pulling the strings player-personnel wise Paintrain 02-09-2008, 10:00 PM Welcome LOL. We're going to get some amusing screen names now The Zorn Identity The Zorn Supremacy The Zorn Ultimatum Zorn to Be Wild Zorn in the FedExField Hardcore Zorn Zorn on the Job If Berman says, at any point, 'Do I make you Zorny baby' I'll fly to Bristol and choke him. charlielyons 02-09-2008, 10:00 PM very surprised by the move, but much better than fassel....i just hope snyder gives him time to develop as a head coach....i think he could be good Chief X_Phackter 02-09-2008, 10:03 PM I am Zorn-Again!

I am sure VC didn't want a failed retread as HC Smooty, but Fassel was the biggest name left that had considerable HC experience. Maybe VC/Snyder also thought a young Zorn if he worked out could be a long term coach and give us the promised continuity after Gibbs left. Could be a whole bunch of angles that lead to hirng Zorn as the HC. I like the move for the latter angle about youth and continuity. If this guy can get the team behind him we could be a contender in a couple years. I think he will do much better than Spurrier(rookie year), but our '08 campaign might not be so hot as we would like. It is going to be interesting to see whoever stays in terms of our upcoming free agents. We might have some defections over the passing over of Williams and how half assed this whole search has gone. ChillWill 02-09-2008, 10:06 PM From the report on REDSKINS.COM sure sounds like Joe Gibbs was very much involved in this decision.
