The one thing keeping Jim Zorn from becoming a NFL head coach was his burning desire to land the job.
He spent years wondering how to board the "fast track" while coaching quarterbacks in Seattle and even when the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl in 2005, his name didn't show up on anyone's short list. Zorn made a vow to stop worrying about his future, and now three years later, he has replaced Joe Gibbs as the head coach of the Redskins.
"I always tried to figure out the formula," Zorn said. "It seemed like the natural progression was to become an offensive coordinator, but when we made it to the Super Bowl, no one on our staff became a coordinator. After that, I finally decided to relax and stop trying to find the formula."
