Maybe, but I think it was Snyder addressing how he looked like an idiot hiring assistants before a HC. I am sure VC didn't want a failed retread as HC Smooty, but Fassel was the biggest name left that had considerable HC experience. Maybe VC/Snyder also thought a young Zorn if he worked out could be a long term coach and give us the promised continuity after Gibbs left. Could be a whole bunch of angles that lead to hirng Zorn as the HC. I like the move for the latter angle about youth and continuity. If this guy can get the team behind him we could be a contender in a couple years. I think he will do much better than Spurrier(rookie year), but our '08 campaign might not be so hot as we would like. It is going to be interesting to see whoever stays in terms of our upcoming free agents. We might have some defections over the passing over of Williams and how half assed this whole search has gone.

From the report on REDSKINS.COM sure sounds like Joe Gibbs was very much involved in this decision.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be untrue because I am tired of all the indecision on this matter.

I'm all for a young head coach with some drive. Hail.

Can we stop with the Zorn jokes. This is serious. It's as if you were Zorn yesterday. J/k

[wilsowilso]

Very happy about this and I kind of called it two days ago.

Count me in on the cautiously optismistic side. While it's a big move from QB coach to Head Coach, I don't think such a think is entirely unprecedented. I could be wrong on that.

Also, it's not like Zorn is a newcomer to the Pro Game. He's been in it on a variety of levels for quite some time. I imagine we will be having a new OC with Zorn focusing on QB's and the general coaching duties.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but a got a good vibe on this.

I caught little Jimmy watching hard core Zorn on the internet last night. lol

The other 100+ posts aren't all jokes on you JG. We really do have a HC...
