Thanks to coach Zorn

I like coach Z as a person and honestly the dude had the deck stacked against him from the begining and i think for the most part he did the best he could. I wish him well.

good luck to coach zorn. hopfully he'll land on his feet somewhere.

zorn was pure class. in a way, after all the shit that went down this season, we should all be a little grateful that things weren't more chaotic in the locker room. it could've gotten uglier...there was the potential for a ton of mudslinging. i think zorn really led by example there.


i compared a photo of zorn from his signing day to one from yesterday and the man has aged 7 years in 2...he really cared about the team. BUT like allen said today, we need results. i hope the way zorn handled himself this year puts him in the good graces of someone looking for a qb coach or even coordinator.


buona fortuna jim.

Jim Zorn handled the little danny and that ass clown Cerrato with the utmost class, just like JC. Both have been treated like total sh*t by the organization, yet they never quit and never complained.

Best of luck Zorn. You're a good man.

And now can we please remove his picture from the banner?? I've been ready to forget this era for months. :)

I see no need to thank him,he got paid a lot of money for a job he couldnt handle.Blaming Snyder for his failure is stupid if you ask me,hes got no one to blame but himself.It wasnt Snyder making the dumbass call to fake a fg after a timeout,that was all Zorn,and there were too many other stupid calls to mention.I dont wish the man any bad will,but no way in hell am I going to say thank you for such a shitty job.
Hell,why were at it,lets start a thread thanking Norv Turner,Terry Robiske,and Steve Spurrier

Hey this guy deserves some props for at least trying. Face it nobody wanted the job and in a big gamble and a chance at a HC job he went for it. He was in pretty much a no win situation form the get go with a bunch of "filler" on this team, acting like real NFL players. Thing is after week 8 of '08 I think teams dissected his system and that was pretty much it. The talent that he had was not acquired for the WCO, but still they guys should have been able to execute it far better than they did.

He did his best considering that his authority was already circumvented by Portis and Snyderrato sometime in 2008 and he had no experience whatsoever at being a head coach, thus his last two years were primarily a painful on-the-job learning experience of dealing with that, an offense with poor depth on the OL and a mediocre QB.

The guy basically won the lottery, his got a nice chunk of change in his pocket right now.

I have worked in bad situations with horribly bosses and only been paid $10 an hour.

I don't feel bad for him at all and he brought me a lot of pain with his horrible coaching.

Looking back at his QB drills with the slip and slide and throwing the pads at them, that is some laughable shit. Should have canned his ass right there.

Good Bye Jim Zorn and don't let the door hit you in the ass, actualy let it hit you maybe it will wake your ass up.
I love pseudo-capitalists.

Zorn shouldn't at all be absolved of blame completely. He's the one who insisted on inexperienced playcallers like Sherman Smith to help him-inexperienced himself-out. He's the one who insisted on running that damn stretch play in the red zone over and over again. He's the one who alienated a lot of the players by repeatedly saying publicly that the problem wasn't his playcalling, it was the execution of the plays (wouldn't have hurt him to just take the bullet once or twice).

All that said, he seemed like a genuinely good guy and I wish him the best of luck

-Zorn gave us a 6-2 start including a win in then "un-beatable" dallas and followed up with a comeback in Philly a week later. (Consequentially then lost to the 2-14 rams)

-He managed to give what he could with the front office making changes and not giving him time to get used to them.

-The players played hard for him every game even if it didnt appear that way and for that he deserves credit.
