SC Skins Fan 02-09-2008, 11:14 PM I'm racking my brain trying to come up with any HC that was never any higher than QB coach at the professional level, and never any higher than OC on the college level. If you have some, I'd love to hear who they are, cause this seems almost unprecidented.
Andy Reid, discussed earlier in the thread.
Not true...he was asst. head coach before he got the HC position.
But what's in a title? Don't know how his duties compared to Zorn's in Seattle. Plus, how many "assistant head coaches" did the Skins have last year? At least three, including Bugel.

You are incorrect sir. Please see my other posts, he was qb coach AND asst. head coach before he took over in Philly. Zorn was just a QB coach. While Reid comes the closest, it's not the same.

You have a point there, but before we played with everyone's titles, titles for other teams actually meant something. They actually groomed Reid, Zorn has not been groomed.

I'll bet they made him take showers at least once a day! :)

herm edwerds also went from defensive backs coach to head coach, but he also held the title of ass. headcoach while he was defensive backs coach.
skinsfan69 02-09-2008, 11:26 PM A head coach is only as good as the coaches and players that surround him. He's got Buges, Byner, Blache and Grey. And doesn't Danny Smith return too? Plus some solid vets in the locker room. It's not all on the HC. Let's remember that. I don't like the hire but I think we'll be fine.

What makes you think he wasn't groomed just because he didn't have the title?
redsk1 02-09-2008, 11:35 PM I'm going to call it right now. The next time we are looking fo a head coach the leading candidate will be...Jim Fassel :)
Too funny. I actually feel a little sorry for JF right about now. DS is probably not on his xmas card list.

LOL.
I was all for him being OC...he deserved the shot, but it's not like he was the QB coach of Peyton Manning or anything.
About herm edwards, I'm not sure I want Zorn if he does what Edwards has done in his career. (39-41 with Jets, 13-19 in KC).
Sure, Edwards and Reid come close, but are there any other guys that did it like Zorn that we can compare, or are we blazing our own path with Zorn?
Again, not saying Zorn is going to fail, I am obviously pulling for him, just curious if anyone blazed this path before him.
