I only quoted the above part because I agree with your other comments.

The above quoted comments stopped too early though. (assuming your scenario) If, let's say Cowher, took over for Zorn after he was fired, and Cowher took us to a SB win, would it matter what happened to Zorn? Especially assuming we had the widely regarded best team in the NFC the year before.
