Do you expect Zorn to be fired

skinsguy · 10-11-2009, 06:36 PM

Man, I am just so sick with the situation this team is in. The bad thing is, I am not even surprised. The Redskins are in a no win situation either way. If Zorn stays the whole season, I honestly don't have any faith in him turning things around. If he's fired midway through, we have given up on the season.

The only thing that would make me happy is for Snyder to sell the team and take Vinny with him.

yes the firing of zorn would be an admission that the front office made a mistake in hiring him in the first place is snyder willing to admit any of his failings?

Well...I thought you posted the ship was sinking with Zorn. A little change of heart. Kinda like Danny is having right now!

Fire Zorn & Cerrato. Hire Shanahan (if he's daft enough to take the job). Bench Campbell if he has one more bad game. Draft OL, RB, QB and DE in that priority order next year. Trade or FA for a veteran QB as we cannot use Collins as another over the hill stand in. We need a cull in the FO, and coaching & playing staff.

If Snyder can't/won't hire a quality GM for starters, we are in for more of the same for years. Without that, we proabbly can't find a quality coach who will touch us with a barge pole.

The problem I see with this team is that we have some many former 1st round picks with huge egos who think they are better than they are. If you recall the teams from Gibbs I, they were mostly mid to low round pick players and FA who weren't guaranteed anything and played with urgency to make the team and keep their jobs.

He dosen't view his lack acomplishments as failings. He thinks what he's doing is right, remember he said if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It is time for the fire Vinny signs at the stadium.

I may come up for a game just so I can raise a fire Vinny sign at the game. It is time.

I agree with you 100%. But you and I both know that Snyder and Cerrato aren't going anywhere.

This organization is a fucking mess. That said, Zorn has been a failure in DC.

skinsfaninok · 10-11-2009, 06:54 PM

If zorn isn't gone tomorrow, I won't watch us again until he is! This team is f ing trash

I tired of trying to predict what this F'ed up franchise will do. Who the hell knows?

Sorry this offense is trash not our d

ForkLifter · 10-11-2009, 06:55 PM

It's not a question of if, but when. The handwriting is obviously on the wall at this point, and Danny may have the support of the team at this point. Seems to me that many of the guys (mostly defense) are holding back in some of their comments. Hall looked like he really wanted to just "tell it like it is" in his post game interview.

Lotus · 10-11-2009, 06:55 PM

I think that the real problem is the team culture, not Zorn.

Nonetheless, the coach takes the fall, especially when an offensive coach produces little offense. Zorn may be gone the day after the Philly game, when we are on our bye.

The defense has been disappointing, but the offense is just bad.
