Zorn press conference

He's being smart about this, for himself and his family.

He knows he's toast. He knows Dan and Vinny don't want to scare off yet another cadre of big-name coaches by blowing up yet another year is amateurish fashion, so they are inclined to let him stay on nominally while they meddle, tinker, and otherwise emasculate the guy.

Guys like Mosley say it's humiliating and he should quit and storm out, to save his dignity. Well, I'll tell you two things -- there's a fine line between dignity and stupidity, and dignity doesn't pay your mortage.

I feel bad for the way this is going down, but I've been in a similar situation and I think Zorn is absolutely sad, humiliated, pissed, and probably a lot more fired up than he's letting on. I feel bad that it turned out this way for the guy, but I respect the fact that he had the guts to try to take this on.

He took advantage of a huge opportunity and nearly made it work -- no matter what else happens, the first half of last year was amazing for him and the team, and he'll probably get another chance to coach again. I imagine a lot of people will like the way he's handled himself through this process, and Vinny and Danny will come out looking like incompetent morons who set a good guy up for failure.

I love it! He won't walk away and Snyder is going to have to pay him off! Go Zorn EFFF SNYDER!!!!

This is must see TV!!!!

You got it. He's forcing the Skins to fire him and have to pay off his contract. He wont get all his contract $ if he resigns. I dont blame him one bit for sticking it out to get his $.

Vinny is such a PUSSY, that he is basically putting on the squeeze to make Zorn resign by having someone else do the play calling and bringing in a consultant.


Those two spineless idiots are doing everything they can to get him to quit and he is taking it all with a smile!

Who do you think is tougher? A guy in the ring of fame of an NFL franchise or a 5'5 pissant who couldn't bust through a wet paper bag?

Screw you Snyder! I love Jim Zorn!!!! This is so awesome!!

Eff that...If he had balls he'd say "I'm going out and calling plays against the Eagles...if you don't like it you can pay me the remainder of my contract...thanks for your patronage"

The only reason he wouldn't do that is if it's in his best interest to stick around and take this. The only way someone would be fine with that is if there is some additional compensation/insentive that we don't know about.


Whatever it is...any normal human being would not remain/compromise under these circumstances. Zorn is either really special or has vested interest that is unknown to the general public.

I bet you'd compromise for $5 million.

I bet you'd compromise for $5 million.


This is so good because he is beating Snyder at his game.... $. Snyder obviously does not care about the team or the fans but he has always cared about his wallet.

SCREW YOU SNYDER! YOU DESERVE THIS, PISSANT!!!

I bet you'd compromise for $5 million.

For 5 million dollars I'd slap my mother in the mouth.

Honestly, does any one give a damn what this clown says?

I bet you'd compromise for $5 million.

He still gets paid if Snyder fires him.

The quicker he gets fired the quicker he gets the remainder of his contract paid in full.

I'd try to antagonize the front office in firing me before I'd roll over like a dog and take it in the keister like he has.


The only thing that I can think of is that his contract is worded so the front office can do anything they want and if Zorn infringes on their will then they don't have to pay him.

Zorn is a soft bitch and Vinny is pure 100% garbage and needs to get fired TODAY. I'm sorry but who the hell brings in a guy mid season when he doesn't even know the damn offense and let him call plays two weeks later?? WTF is going on over in Ashburn????? Zorn looks like a puppet and the players have probably lost all respect for the guy for not standing up to Dan's bitch. Jack Kent Cooke is seriously rolling over in his grave.

We don't know what is in his contract, but certainly looks like it allows Vinny to have say over some matters. Zorn is going about this in the same way he has everything; he's a stand up guy, that alone seems like more than can be said of his bosses.

Sherm doesn't have a great rep at play calling? Did y'all hear that last question?

Yeah. I found that a little disturbing. I don't blame Zorn. It's easy for people on here to say they'd rather quit or be fired but they're not the one giving up a lifelong dream. If it helps, we know that playcalling was the problem.
