Hinde sight is 20/20, but I think everyone was kinda happy we picked up someone who was not a big name and was supposed to be an offensive guru according to many. Who the many were I don't know. He could have turned out to be awsome and we all would have been sitting here saying what a great pick up and steal. Instead it failed. Failed for many of reasons but it doesn't matter when your in a job that only wins and losses count.

All said and done I'm happy to see this era finally come to an end.

I am interested to hear what Zorn has to say when he has his $ in his pocket and is 100% free of the Redskins.

I would bet he won't say much at all.

I dont think he'll have any real zingers or trash talk (he's too classy for that) but I do think he will speak and if one can read between the lines will be able to understand the mess he was dealing with.

I agree. If he's smart he keeps his mouth shut and says "It is what it is." Owners would respect that and he might get another gig in the future. I honestly hope Holmgren picks him up for the Browns as either QB coach again or OC and trains him so he can get another gig sometime. He is a nice guy.

Good guy, very poor head coach. Was another bad hire, he was just in over his head. He was mistreated as well and never given a fair shot..but that WAS how Vinny and Danny Boy ran sh*t.

Roger Goodell will be on the Joe Theismann show at 905 on ESPN 980. You know he won't give full disclosure, but I hope he has good comments on the Rooney Rule, CBA among other things.

Was gonna put this in the Thanks file, but figured it might be construed as negative:

D.C. Sports Bog - Best of Zorn: Faces

Zorn is a character no doubt.

[CRedskinsRule]

Goodell did not address the Rooney Rule question that I heard. I didn't hear Theismann even ask him, so maybe I just missed it. On the CBA, he said an uncapped year looked very possible, but that there have been several meetings towards preventing a lockout in 2011. nothing else really caught my attention. JC is due on shortly according to Theisman.

if this is true what a very classless thing to do. taking a guy off the bus in front of everyone is just stupid.

The security escort thing is reportedly false.

according to the latest reports, he arrived before the bus, and was not in front of the team when any security may have been with him.

That said, i worked for a GREAT company in colorado, classy in every way (and that's not just cuz we got a free trip to Mexico every year ) and it was their policy that once an employee was fired, especially one in higher positions, they were escorted from the moment they were told to the moment they were off company property. It only happened a couple times, and was done respectfully, but since I was in IT it was my job to lock their accounts as soon as the firing took place. It was never fun, but still, thats how it was done.

Yeah I heard Larry Michael on with Andy and Kevin this morning and he said that the folks were Zorns Admin Assistant and a friend that walked with him to his car.
