Zornometer midterm grade

I gave him a 3, I have had him at a 4+ to 5 on the last two polls, and I still have confidence in him. However, I am starting to wonder about his play calling around the opponents 40-20. Yes its all the penalties/fumbles etc that are killing drives, but that is what a coach is supposed to be coaching up. Our drives consistently stall around the 35yd line, and I wonder if opposing d's are seeing something, or not enough practice is going to that situation.

4. Fix the red zone offense and we have a long-term head coach.

exactly.

I started him from a 2 in preseason...cause hes a rookie, the Giants game proved that.
Then after Dallas, I gave him a 3...
After Philly I gave him a 4 because it wasn't a 1 game fluke...
However,
My main perspective is this.
You give a coach a 4 if he can get you to the playoffs, You give him a 5 if you are a hall of famer or get you to the Superbowl.

Right now...If I could, I'd give him a 3.5, because the team has played down to the Rams and Lions. He has had some questionable coaching decisions, deciding to go conservative at the end of 4th quarters against weaker teams.
I think teams have figured out how to keep his offense between the 20s too.
He needs to adjust some stuff offensively to get us to score more.
That is a big step for a Rookie HC.

I liked the Zorn hiring from the minute it was announced but I never dreamed it would be working out so good so soon. He is a tell it like it is, breath of fresh air in this organization, and his coaching aint bad either.

Right now he's a 5 (subject to change).

Sticking with my four since the beginning of the season. I need a full season of him as head coach and at least a deep deep playoff run before I give him a 5

he gets a b plus from me...keep jason developing and get those rookies on the same page with the rest of the team so you can throw the ball DOWNFIELD

b+? I didn't see that option.

I gave him a 3, because I feel he's between a 3 and 4, and I just happened to round down.

6-2 is great, and I'm very glad that the Skins are where they are at this point, there is still a lot of work to do against some tough teams. While the Skins are moving the ball all over the place, they are having the same point scoring issues Gibbs 2.0 had. A 4 would have been blowouts vs. the Rams, Browns and Lions. But these games were too close to call, and this team is going to have to step it up in the 2nd half of the season.

Tough audience out there -- the only way he has your complete confidence is to win a SB? There are many excellent coaches who haven't.

For me, the metric is threefold: (1) has he got his guys playing as well as they're capable of playing, (2) does he call a good game, and (3) does he make sound personnel decisions. So far, I think he has done each of those things quite well and will only get better.

Inheriting a team from a coaching legend the year after one of its stars is murdered has got to be as tough a challenge coming into coaching as anyone has ever faced. Zorn has not only handled it with great passion and smarts, but displays guts in play calling that is reminiscent of Gibbs v. 1.0. And he's done it withouth going out and buying a bunch of guys he knows -- the only real FAs are Jason Taylor, Plackenmeyer, and now Shaun Alexander (who is a temp for Betts). The rest of the new players are rookies. So he's been able to do better than last year with largely the same talent. And it would be hard to identify the guys who are underperforming this season. Portis, Moss, Campbell, Rogers, Cooley -- a number of guys are having terrific seasons. We haven't been finishing drives (especially in the red zone) as we should, which is troubling, and much of that is small lapses and some penalties. But with greater familiarity with the new system (which is still only about 3 months old), I have confidence that they'll work out the kinks. I think Zorn is going to turn out to be a terrific hire, and whatever faults The Danny has (and there are many), this was a good decision.

I gave him a 5.

I am confident in Zorny and I am either confident or not. So for me my answers is either a 1 or a 5. Way to go Coach! Hail to the brugandy and black!
