I highly doubt Seattle would drop Mora, a guy w/ HC experience, for Zorn. However, I think you're on to something. Everyone assumes Zorn's departure would be a firing but I truly believe it's more likely he leaves of his own accord (partly because I don't think Snyder/Cerrato want to fire him after one season and partly because I really suspect Zorn will have had enough by season's end). So the scenario would be Mora as HC and Zorn as OC in Seattle. Zorn wouldn't have to deal w/ the media any longer - especially DC media - and overall would avoid the kind of scrutiny that has him looking like a nervous wreck.
Bottom line: i really suspect Zorn is deciding whether the HC gig is for him (yet) and won't be surprised if we have a 2nd HC resign in two consecutive seasons.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he resigns and Seattle picks him up IN ANY CAPACITY then Seattle owes us compensation right? Like a draft pick or two?

I like Zorn... he hasn't really produced the results we as fans would have wanted. But 7-7 in his first year is decent all things considered. NOT giving him at least one more year would be beyond dumb in my opinion.
I like Zorn's attitude and demeanor. I think he has what it takes to be a HC.

A good question and I don't know the answer. I would have guessed their would be remuneration at stake but nothing more.

problem is Zorn has been rattled. If he's not working with a mental health pro now he will be by weeks end. He will quit and move next door to Mark Furman.

Why stick with a guy if it is becoming more apparent every week he might not be HC material? Sorry bud, but this keeping a possible lemon HC for the sake of trying to establish continuity is downright stupid. The guy has lost the team, as the season has unraveled before our very eyes. The last time we kept a coach for continuity's sake was when John Cooke was the owner and he stuck by Norv all that time. At least Norv had a decent offensive scheme going for him, not much else though. He didn't lose the team either, just was too laid back and didn't inspire them or give em a swift kick in the ass when needed.
thats the key term there, possible. its not even a full season yet but yeah lets continue to mimic the raiders and trade zorn for some picks.
we give JC years before making an evaluation of what type of player he is, rookie WRs get a 3 year grace period before we can expect production but lets fire our rookie coach who had us in the spotlight for a good 6 week span, bud.
go skins!!!
ps - your probaly right thoo, given our track record of always looking for the next hot name. i just dont agree with it but fan input does not matter to the front office.

Zorn needs to be back if we're serious about comitting to the long term and trying to build something. You can't go one and done and expect to grow as a team. We'll be right back to square one next year with a coaching change.

Now he thinks he's "Probably" not the worst coach and that the presence of alot of redskins in the probowl is evidence that the offense is playing well....:food-smil

General - Zorn: I feel 'like the worst coach in America' (http://www.comcast.net/articles/sports-general/20081216/Zorn.Worst/)
Not the worst, but he is up there. He wasn't/isn't ready to be a head coach.
I think in about 5 years, he will. However, I don't want to wait for him to get good with 4 more bad years in DC.
