Zorn feels like worst coach in America.

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

ProFootballTalk.com - JIM ZORN: “I’M PROBABLY NOT THE WORST COACH” (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/17/jim-zorn-im-probably-not-the-worst-coach/)


While I love seeing Skins in the Probowl... its more evidence of a great marketing campaign getting the fans to vote then it is of Zorn being a good coach.

Re-cast the ballots now and we have Cooley in there... maybe Portis and Samuels.

Allow me to suggest just one reason why Jim Zorn might not resign his position.

As I recall, he signed a 5 year contract worth $15M - - I believe those were the reported terms. So assume for a moment that it is a flat contract and he gets $3M per year.

That means he still has $12M coming to him - - unless he quits or gets arrested for something outrageous like molesting a household pet. So, explain to me why someone would resign and leave $12M on the table?

Now, Danny Boy can surely fire him. In fact, the single best thing that Danny Boy has shown he knows how to do since he bought the Skins is that he does know how to fire people. Sometimes he fires the wrong people but he does fire them and they do stay fired - - except for Vinny who came back for seconds. But if I were Jim Zorn, I'd be looking to get fired and collect my $12M instead of quitting and going out looking for another job.

i feel for the guy.

Credskins made a good point in another thread; Id like to see danny come out and give coach zorn a public endorsement that the organization is behind him, have full faith in him and that he will be the coach next year.

come on danny, this is the time when an owner should be looking to instil alil confidence and leadership. (please dont publicly endorse him now and fire him this offseason thoo)

go skins!!

this is a great opportunity for danny to show us what hes learned the past 10 years. will he step up? will he show he knows when an owner of a team must be heard?

totally agree with you man. that is the best thing he could do right now

I believe the contract is really for 3 years

i feel for the guy.

Sadly, this hasn't happened :(. Instead, Vinny the goes on the Redskins nation the other day, and with EVERY opportunity to talk about it and give a vote of confidence, not a peep was said. LM didn't ask the question, which I am sure means he was told not to. We know, from ProBowl voting and recent history, that if the FO wants to make a point they have the tools and ability to do that. In the case of Zorn, Daniel Snyder's silence is deafening. In fact the last time it was this silent is when they were doing the Head Coach search last January.
I don't know how good a coach JZ can be, lord knows on the ESPN poll the first few weeks of the season, he was the Best coach, as voted by fans, but now he is shell-shocked. He needs this off-season to get here more than any other single person in the organization, to step back, take a deep breath and exhale.
I still hope Daniel Snyder would do the right thing, and step up to a podium and, with no hidden agenda, declare that JZ is going to be our coach. Maybe once the season has ended, officially.

I doubt Zorn wants the dreaded vote of confidence. Those never end well

Maybe so, but somehow DS needs to use his media prowess to end the speculation about JZ's job. There are ways to get it out and let it be known.

CredskinsRule:

Danny Boy has very little "media prowess." If his credibility with the media were chocolate, it wouldn't fill an M&M. :rolleyes:

The only place where Danny Boy could get airtime without the danger of being cross-examined would be with Larry Michael on Redskins Radio or on some place where he could pre-negotiate the puff-ball questions - - like Oprah.

Vinny Boombatz has his own radio show twice a week - on a station owned by Danny Boy. :towel: AND there have been more than a couple of occasions where Vinny has been known to "carry Danny Boy's water". If Danny Boy wanted to "get a message out" he could use that channel any time he wanted to - - but who'd believe the message?

its not your fault zorny! we need better upper management...down with Vinny

i like Zorn, and he WILL get better... give the guy a damn chance... he had us at 6-2 ... then it got late in the season, we have an old team with a late bye, players get tired... he needs to tweak his play calling so what?

its not entirely his fault we've been losing... to fire Zorn at this point would be stupid.... this offense can work... give it a shot I say ..

Start a keep Zorn petition and send it to Danny lol..... but seriously.
