Zorn On The Hot Seat

I'm possibly being a little dense here, my apologies. Does this mean that you are Eric DeCosta?


Lol, yeah Smootsmack is dead on. Being Eric DeCosta would be great. Don't worry about it though, it's all good. A year or two ago I probably would have asked the same thing.

From Wikipedia:
Named as one of the most powerful people in sports under the age of 35 ([2] (http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=49811)), DeCosta has played a strong role in the drafting of Pro Bowl players like Ed Reed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Reed), Terrell Suggs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrell_Suggs), Jamal Lewis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Lewis), Bart Scott (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_Scott), Le'Ron McClain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le%27Ron_McClain) along with significant contributors Tony Weaver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Weaver), Mark Clayton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_J._Clayton), Haloti Ngata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloti_Ngata), Chester Taylor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Taylor), Ed Hartwell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Hartwell), Dawan Landry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawan_Landry), Jason Brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Brown_%28American_football%29), Jared Gaither (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Gaither), Ben Grubbs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Grubbs), Sam Koch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Koch), and Ray Rice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Rice).

Ha! He wishes. Eric DeCosta is an up and coming exec in the Ravens front office, a potential future General Manager

I'm glad to hear that. With his promotion early this year I was wondering how hard it would be to snag him from the Ravens. Now I guess the only questions that remain are:

1. Will Snyder strip Vinny of his personnel duties?

2. Would DeCosta be crazy enough to come back to the Redskins (he was originally an entry level intern in 1995)?

1995: (with Washington) Earliest NFL experience came with a training camp internship in the Redskins’ player personnel department.Oh...I thought it was this (http://twitpic.com/jhyvg)

Well kind of. It's more like this guy. Except instead of a guy it's Lady Gaga complete with Sumo's Redskin themed frames. In all fairness though that pic (this (http://twitpic.com/jhyvg)) would make for a perfect avatar assuming someone would color it.

Or #4, make every effort to lock up Holmgren as GM now, then let him make the football decisions. If he thinks it's best for him to get back on the sideline then so be it. My guess would be Holmgren would keep Zorn in place as HC for the rest of the season and then evaluate the best course of action. Fire Blache now and promote from within, Gray or Olivadotti then make a final DC decision after the season. Cerrato can stick around with some BS title, but ultimately control would be Holmgren's.

Holmgren didn't have a whole lot of success as a GM. Obviously I'm touting Decosta now/again so in all honesty I only want Holmgren as a coach/playcaller. They do need to consider a new Defensive Coordinator. 51% on third down is pathetic especially for a defense with this level of talent.

With Cerrato I picture a Rich McKay type situation where McKay took on a more organizational role and someone else gets hired to run the show. Ironically if it went down the same way as it did in Atlanta Vinny would become President Cerrato.

When you lose 8 of the last 11 with a talented team I find it hard not to blame the coaching although it may not all be his fault you just shouldn't be losing that much with a team who has this much talent.

If we want to win now we cannot change the systems again.

NEWSFLASH: We're not going to win now.

When Zorn gets his second head coaching gig on another team this offseason things shouldn't be so stressful for him.

I think that the Arena League is now defunct

He'll prob be back somewhere as a coordinator or QB coach.QB coach

we've already seen his lack of ability to run the O

What's funny to me it's that in week 1 I wrote in my column that the end of Zorn Era was starting and he was going to be let go and everyone here came at me like I was insane and just another cowboys bias fan... and 3 weeks later everyone it's on the same boat.
It has nothing to do with your rationale, it's all to do with you being a Cowboys fan.

Get out of my head!!

It at least shows that we're all hanging together on the issue.

What's up with the Ravens???...there's some things one just doesn't do.

...For shame!
Yeah the other teams shit? And the Ravens considering how their fans are? wtf?!

I'll be a Redskins fan until they don't exist anymore or I die.

With the core of quality recievers the skins now have ...what happen to the "air show"?
Lately,Zorn play calling has lacked imagination.
