We'll refer to Jim Zorn as Moses.

Well as long as Zorn is the HC than Synder can still have the media talking about the Redskins so maybe he just drags this out for the pub.

I agree with that, but Zorn still seems overmatched as a playcaller and game manager. I think if given an opportunity with the right organizational structure and less on his plate (i.e. not having 3 job titles), he could succeed. Sadly, in his mid-50s, this was probably his only shot at being a HC in this league.

I borrowed the phrase from the movie, thought it fit well with what is expected from Zorn.

Zorn should ask Snyder to let his people go from Bondage

Snyder's heart is hardened.

This was supposed to be the easy part of our schedule. Now with the division games coming up i dont see it getting any better.

I can only imagine the boos that are going to take place when we lay an egg against the likes of the cowboys, eagles and giants at home.

As fans and people who live in this area, there should be some sort of check and balance system for owners who mismanage the area team. It is a disgrace to have such an aweful owner as a representative for this team. A person who creates such a toxic environment and mettles to no end. No one of quality will ever want to coach here as long as he behaves as terribly.

On a personal note, my sister went to school with a niece of Bill Parcells, who said that he was contacted several times by Daniel Snyder back in the early 2000's, around 2002-2003 and she said that he would not touch a team owned by Daniel Snyder with a ten foot pole point blank.

I don't doubt the story but is it really necessary to have "inside info" that a guy like Parcells would never work for Snyder? Nobody real smart, unless they're simply looking for the giant paycheck, will work for lil Danny. I will be truly shocked if an legit coach outside Shanahan comes to Washington...truly shocked. BTW i think Shanahan is a more or less a loser coach now. He couldn't do anything in Denver and look what McDaniels has done w/ arguably less talent on the roster!

I completely am in agreement, though I just had to state the obvious once again.

I think he gets fired . The only thing that might save him is Danny hates to look like he made a mistake. I say Danny should go after Bill Cohwer hard.

As long as Jim Zorn is the HC, I, and I would hope most fans be behind him. Although I am not a fan of his work and what he has done here, he is still our coach. Although firing a HC mid season isn't a good idea, our situation calls for change. The lack of a sense of urgency is what is killing this team. I personally don't think Jim Zorn stands a chance at finishing the season due to the way Dan Snyder deals with HC's in the past that aren't named Joe Gibbs.

By the way I am new here!
