Zorn "probably the worst NFL hire of all time"??

[MTK]

This will definitely be an article to bookmark and revisit at some point in the future.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread title was "Lane Kiffin and Rich Kotite." Glad they were mentioned here. This guy is a moron of epic proportions. Anyone ever heard of Tim Kawakami? Exactly. He doesn't deserve any more of our time IMO. What a douche.

whats funny is the "mercury news" where this guy is employed is based out of san jose... and quite of few peeps i know love the seahawks in that general area... maybe upset he left the seahawks to go to washington??? lol did his favorite team lose a coach and now he upset... poor baby....

I'm reserving all judgment on Zorn. To be honest, I don't remember him as a QB and I don't know how people "in the know" really view him. He could be a great hire, or he could be a miserable failure. I simply don't know.

First of all this was a horrible repot on an NFL team. That said, I agree with the fact that Zorn does need to prove himself. If he doesnt, make no mistake he and snyder will be facing ALOT of criticism. I'm hoping for the best along with every other skins fan (obviously). I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

No one else does either, I admire the approach you're taking and it would be wise if others followed your lead.

I watched him play with great interest back in 1976 because Seattle was an expantion team just coming into the league. He was their first QB, and I wanted to see how he and his new team stacked up against the rest. We didn't see a lot of their games being here on the east coast, neither did I follow his career after his playing days. Many people have had good things to say about him, so like you I'm going to wait and see.

You know, of the four teams that made coaching changes this offseason, three hired coaches who had never even been coordinators before - Sparano, Zorn, Harbaugh. So this guy can shove it.

This guy from FoxSports is arguably worse. He describes two different coaches the same way, with completely opposite opinions on the two.

I thought Zorn was a terrible hire as offensive coordinator as he didn't even call the plays in Seattle...

The best way to shut up the critics like Pasta Belly, Kawakami (sounds like the name of a moped), and Jenkins is for the Skins to win.

Wow, it's amazing how some of these "journalists" still have jobs. With the saturation the internet brings to the world of sports (and just about everything else), the quality of writing and analysis has certainly suffered. What a joke.

Let the critics run their mouths, as they usually do. Give the man a chance to prove himself before you burn him at the stakes.

Yeah I noticed that the other day too when I read it. This article and a bunch of others is what prompted my 'psychics and speculation' post. I really think all these writers do it just for ratings and recognition to make themselves stand out in the pack of jack-offs currently writing sports pieces.

[Giantone]

I already told you who I think ......and was the worst Giant coach ever..RAY HANLEY ,so in your opinions who was the Redskins worst coach ever?

[jsarno]

All I have heard is negative comments about the Zorn (HC) signing. It's all over most news outlets, and even ESPN shows like PTI who tried to be positive about it, or at least put a positive spin on it.
A few places have said that the Skins PURPOSELY hired underqualified coaches, knowing they would fail, so they could hire Cowher next year. Not sure where or why they would say that, but I just don't see how these signings are a sign of great things to come for us.

In recent history it had to be Steve Spurrier. I'd say Richie Petibon, but he was a successful defensive coach in the NFL before failing as a HC. Spurrier was a joke in the pros. And he knew it too.
