Understood, but he's based his opinion on the info he's recieved. If in fact Snyder almost hired Fassel a couple weeks ago but decided to wait till after the super bowl to interview spags, that's pretty conclusive evidence to state that Snyder himself has changed his mind on the matter.
I know you're not necessarily criticizing JLC, but I'd say what he reports is at least a roughly accurate portrayal of how much back & forth there's been in this process.
I was just saying JLC can be a bit "hyperbolic" in his blogs...not this time though
Woah!

What a crazy turn of events! Maybe the fossil at the OC job? Maybe Dan knows he can get the HC he wants next year...?

He doesn't say "I believe" ... he says he IS ... like this is a definite..
Wow this thing has gotten WEIRD!
Well... Matt Hasselbeck called it... he said Zorn should have been considered for HC all along because of how well he relates with and cares for players while still being hard on them and a perfectionist...
I can live with this ... let's a ll jump on the Z-Train!!
Where did you read that? clearly says "strong possibility."

Jim Zorn Is The Next Head Coach
"Just got off the phone with sources with knowledge of the situation. Zrn is the next head coach. He spent a lot of time with Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder the past two days, team sources said, and the brass "fell in love with him." A press conference should come Monday."
And NFL Network is running it across the bottom of the screen confirmed by the Associated Press.

My bad! JLC updated this quickly, went from possibility to "next head coach."
Man, I'm kinda excited. The only thing I don't like about this is Zorn's seattle ties. Big difference between Seattle & DC. I hope he isn't looking to take over the hawks when Mora Jr. flails in a couple years. I would love, as I believe most of us would, for our head coach to make a name here over the next 5-10 years. Zorn is the right age for that to happen if he can have some early success.

I just saw it go over the NFL Netowrk ticker. If this is true I'm not sure what to think.

Well, if this is true, this is the most F'd up coaching search I've ever seen. A nobody QB coach becomes the HC of our proud franchise! If it is indeed true, I guess we have to line up behind him. Maybe crazy wins.

Well, like I said, Hasselbeck has raved about him and hes been under Holmgren, a great one, for 7 years....
