How is Jim Zorn doing so far?

How would anyone know since they havent snapped a ball in a regular season game yet.

hopefully since hes relatively young for a head coach and since we gave him his first chance he will be around for more than a couple years. i envy teams like the broncos, steelers (cowler), ravens (billick sp?), colts, seahawks, titans etc who have had the same coach for so long. i know some of the teams i named have recently changed HC but you get the point.

was gibbs II 4 years the longest coaching tenure with the skins since Gibbs I?

get a coach who has a thought out approach to how you win games in the nfl. i remember a few years ago belichek (sp?) and/or parcells talking about how a head coach needs to write out their strategy for winning games in the NFL which includes how you approach FA, draft, training camp, what positions to spend big money on, how you match up against your division, do you draft line and D guys and spend money in FA to get proven performers at skilled positions etc.

gibbs never wrote out his approach or philosophy and i think that hurts the process of having a true identity year after year.

go skins!

What is this 10th grade english class?

I guess if Gibbs wrote a 5 page essay on how to win in the NFL he would have done better?? Say what?

He's doing great. We're really encouraged with what we've seen thus far. We're certainly glad he's part of the organization and look forward to a productive year from him.
Maybe you should change the we're and we've to I'm and I've and let everyone post how they feel. LOL

I was speaking for all 724 of us.

I asked how he was doing so far. That doesn't have anything to do with how many games he's won being as though we didn't play any. Obviously, I'm talking about as far as managing the team through practice and things like that.

Now that explains the 724. What does it cost to become #725?

Hard to say even so far from a management point of view. Of course, I'm kind of taking the summer off from talking Redskins football...at least until August! ;-I

I'm not sure what this means. Are you saying if our past coaches since Gibbs I, including Gibbs II, had simply written down their philosophy on paper we would have had more success? I can't imagine how that would make a big difference. Gibbs was unwavering in his values and rules. As far as philosophy, most coaches have a style they stick with as far as game planning, but you have to tweak things game in and game out, year in and year out based on personnel, injuries, opponent, etc. I can't see how having a "to do list" scratched out in a notebook would change anything.

By the way, the Ravens fired Brian Billick. John Harbaugh is their new HC.

he appears to be doing well, but that's about all we have to go on, limited interviews & statements.

I like it that he
1) said JC is the starter from day 1
2) said Portis won't be taking himself out of games. though his statement was something like "we probably won't do that." Todays post article about Portis seems to indicate that Portis may be changing his practice habits, and that might be due to Zorn.
If so, that's a needed change IMO.

I hope we can be patient w/Zorn cause he's got a lot of OTJ training to do.
