Team was not prepared for "situational football"

If Z were an OC before being a HC, he would have known the importance of situational football. Hell, Bill Walsh was the one who brought that concept into fruition.

The spurrier years came to mind for me too, but Zorn far & away outcoached the OBC. The end of Spurrier's 2nd year was pure disaster, the team really seemed to give up. Zorn at least got his guys to pay some really tough games(NO, Dallas, Philly, SD) only to lose.

I don't think Spurrier was ever undermined quite like Zorn was. By october the reports of Shanahan coming here were out there.

Rather than quit on the team mid way through the season, he stuck it out and did his job to his ability...can the same be said of Snyder?

Maybe Zorn knew there was about a million $ reasons to stick it out. Maybe a real man would have tould Snyder to kiss his ass and kept his pride and walked from the money. So it could go both ways.

This entire mess is the little general's (Snyders) fault. Who the hell hires an OC and a DC before they hire a HC. That is totally laughable. And he did it after spending 4 years with Joe Gibbs. He learned nothing in 8 years. It finally took this complete total embarrassment of the franchise to wake his ass up. That is unbelievable.

Everything is always Snyder's fault.
