Exactly.
I woudl also like to posit the idea that when we discuss whether a guy is a "good hire" what he did as coach is actually irrelevant because in my mind a "good hire" is a hire that was reasonable and well though out. For example...Spurrier was actually a "good hire" that simply didn't work. No one thought he'd suck as mucha s he did. In fact most believed it was a fantastic hire at the time. It wasn't a "bad hire" it was a bad result.
Lane Kiffin was a "bad hire" there was not any good evidence that he was even a good coach and he was younger than half his team and all of hiw assistants. That's a "bad hire".
Norv Turner in SD is probably a "bad hire". He has proven every where that he isn't the greatest HC and that was a great team they handed him. It may have worked for a year but does anyone think it will last? Bad hire. When We hired him it was a "good hire".
Anyone see my point on this.
As for Zorn I am on the fence really. I suspect it is going to work if Danny gives him the time but I am wary that DS will. I think it is hard to see if this a good hire until we know how DS is going to handle this. If he gives him time and pateince it was good hire but if he just wants Zorn to come in amake some magic in two years then it was a bad hire probably.
