Peter King on SNF

At this point he should just take his money and go home..

sounds like the groundwork for his firing he refused to give up the playcalling so he was fired dungy is right he would show the team he didn't have faith in himself so why then would the team have faith in him (if it does)

It does seem like he's hosed either way.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think it's a great idea. Even Gibbs gave up playcalling in Gibbs 2.0 and just about everyone agreed that Zorn was taking on too many jobs in trying to be everything. If I was Zorn I'd ask for a written promise (with a million dollar bonus if Danny renigs) that he not be removed until after the season and see how it goes with someone else calling plays. It's still his gameplan, offense and direction.

DS is basically saying look let Sherm get the play calling duties so he can get some weeks under his belt and so we can fire you after the bye so step aside and goodbye.

One of two things behind this move. Either Snyder truly has no plans to fire Zorn during the season but sees that something has to change or he's trying to demonstrate that he's not actively impulsively and just firing the coach by giving him the option to stay and fix things.

Either way, as Michael Ray Richardson once said, the ship be sinking.


this was my first thought too. i'm betting zorn's with us for the season.

The Skins have a championship in one area, cynical fans.

If Zorn can't see that this team is sinking fast he shouldn't be the HC anyways. If they can work together to find a solution that gets this team headed in the right direction then everybody will be happy. It's ridiculous to say he should refuse. Hell my boss and I were talking today, and he had a story of a guy who lost his job cuz the boss said come in at 8 and this guy refused. Zorn does need to grow a pair, but he needs to man up and realize that he needs help and not let his ego interfere with finding a winning recipe on this team.

Can't get any worse. This offense is a putrid, sputtering joke. From a Redskins standpoint, this is probably a good thing. From a Zorn standpoint... Well, I think he knows he's outta here anyway. He might as well take a little stress out of his work week.

give him time to put the house up for sale and pad up the ol resume'

Any coach that comes in here is going to have to deal with a front office that is a nightmare. I would not wish this coaching job on my worst enemy. Things will never improve and we will never return to greatness until something is done in the front office.

I am going to take a different view of this and say that Zorn is absolutely NOT the problem. He can only work with the tools that are given to him and those are some of the dullest, most broken and inadequate tools anywhere. Who bought those tools? Vinny Cerrato and Daniel Snyder. I have seen more passes dropped. More passes thrown away from the receiver. More linemen give up their blocks. More runners fail to attack the gap. More cornerbacks drop interceptions. More defensive players flat out MISS tackles....than I have ever seen on any team not at the Pop Warner level. That is NOT on Zorn. That is on one of the worst collections of players I've seen. These guys are paper tigers. They hype themselves up every year as though we should just go ahead and hand them the Lombardi Trophy. And every year we get the same thing...failure. What is the only constant over the past 10 years of losing? Snyder and Cerrato. So, Zorn may take the fall, but I guarantee you that until we get a REAL GM with REAL AUTHORITY, the results will continue to be dismal and the next coach will take the fall, and the next and the next. I love the Skins, but I hate this front office as much as I hate the Cowgirls.
