Note:
Jim Zorn inherited a playoff team...there wasn't much to "turn around"
He only needed to do as well or 2 wins better to be considered a good coach...not to mention, he didn't touch the defense, special teams...and even the runnning game.
That is a pretty light load for a new head coach, but understandable considering how light of a rookie he was.
Ask yourself this question...if Gibbs had this team with a 6-2 start, would they have missed the playoffs?....doubtful...I don't care who is injured....he'd probably make seller a RT to make it happen...it would be ugly...and he'd be launching deep passed to Moss to make it happen...but it is rare that a great coach wins 75% of his games only to finish 500.
