I think the 'firing' of Zorn is a false issue. Zorn has done the best he can with an average team. Our issues are a weak and old OL and DL. That's what every "expert" has been saying about the Redskins for the last 5 weeks.
Only in the hypercritical Washington market do people want an instant success. Then others will complain that the team is fickle and narrow-minded.
Snyder has backed the last two coaches. He will back Zorn for three seasons.

8 yrs is a long time. I imagine Snyder is ready to do that again by now. Hypercritical....yep call me that. Call me whatever you want. Our owner also does not like to be embarrassed. The latter part of the season was an embarrassement. I'll agree and say I doubt Snyder will fire Zorn. Only cause Snyder also does not like to look wrong or be told I told you so.
The only issue I have is Zorn looked like he was not capable of adjustment. I have mentioned on several boards that I wonder if Snyder can figure out a way to bring in a HC and still keep Zorn as OC, but the more I look at it if Zorn can't adjust his play calls or game during the season or games then why should he be retained as OC? and if we are going to let him go and look elsewhere then I would have to say Snyder lets stop with the ...."we are one year away from the SB" antics and decide its not working everytime. It's always the same. Lets get this big name cause he will take us there. It's time to call it "rebuild." Lets hire someone who will rebuild this team with younger players and healthy players and not throw away draft picks.
I can see this happening only if he is able to swindle Cowher out of retirement. and to be honest I'm not impressed with any of the coach's and that includes Buges this year. I think they asked Buges to coach a system he is not comfortable or expirienced in using. He used to be able to coach someone out of a wet paper bag. Look at Heyer last yr. This yr he looks a mess. Out of all the coach's available out there I like I think I like Cowher the best. I also know it took him something like 10 yrs to get to the SB. So maybe Snyder can lower everyones expectations simply by saying we are going to rebuild. Then no one will expect anything. Every yr we end up the same cause we are told this team has talent and it only needs one thing to get to the SB.
1st it was Shotty then gone after one yr. 2nd it was Spurrier cause his offense was going to light it up in the NFL. gone. 3rd Gibbs would bring us back. but it didn't. Then we needed Saunders. that didn't work. Now Zorn and the WCO had to work right. We have all the talent but we simply have to find a system that fits the players in order to get to the SB. How about we just do something different and rebuild. get rid of all the old players and bring in young ones who are hungry.
