Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - D.C. Examiner: Zorn's job in jeopardy? (not so fast he's coming back)

Zorn won't be fired. There are several reasons for this statement:

1. Vinny hired him and isn't going to give up on this experiment that easily.

2. Snyder knows that if he fires a HC after one season, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE of any consequence will come here. The coaches that turned Snyder down last pre-season did so because of the perception that the Redskins have a chaotic and amateurish owner / coaching situation. He will stay the course no matter what to build faith for future hiring.

3. People forget that Snyder was going to give Steve Spurrier another year even after the team began to melt down horribly in his second season. Spurrier quit.

4. gibbs may have left because he knew this team wasn't going to be much better this year. I'm sure Gibbs will tell Danny to keep Zorn.

The problems the team faces will force Zorn to toughen up and release players and coaches this off-season. I see no way that Zorn will be fired. People just look at the Shottenheimer issue and forget what's happened since then.
