You know, I've heard the 'talent' excuse a bunch and I know we don't have top notch players on the OL or at WR but that's where I expect a coach to excel. Ok, you've given me this, now I have to make the best of it. I refuse to believe that 14 points per game is the absolute BEST that can be coaxed out of our offensive talent. That's where Zorn continues to fall short IMO and hopefully Lewis can help him past it.
Unfortunately, the pessimist in me thinks that Zorn will listen to what Lewis says but do what he wants to anyways because he's stubborn. I don't get the sense that he's willing to alter what he believes despite overwhelming evidence in his face to dispute it. Before this week, all I heard from him was 'my play calls were good, the execution lacked' so now we think that an outside source is going to come in and tell him his calls were hot garbage and he's gonna agree and change?
I hope to be proven wrong, I truly do, but I realistically think Shanahan's got his bags packed and his staff already in mind. Conspiracy theory of the day, Zorn is fired at the bye week, Blache (who I think is in his last year of his contract) is named HC, Lewis OC, both are 'interviewed/Rooney'd' before the holidays, Shanahan is named the new HC the Monday following the season finale.
