LOL. Anyone think Shottenheimer would have eventually gotten us to a SB?

Jim Zorn was smart, heady player and tremendous competitor. He never gave up on plays and was one of the best scramblers ever. I think it's smart for the Skins to grab one of the best young coaches in the league . . .

Oh screw it! If nobody is going to jump 100% on the Zorn bandwagon, then I will! I'm all in. He's got my support, 100%! What were we saying about the syllable thing? Huh? Joe Gibbs? Jim Zorn? Put this in writing today, February 9, 2008. I, Skinsguy, hereby swear that Jim Zorn will be the next great head coach of the Washington Redskins. Put in a sig, I don't care! I'm excited and ready for next season!

Okay, just listened to Mort's report on it.

Last time a QB coach went to HC, Andy Reid.

Other former Holmgren QB coaches who are now head coaches? Gruden

couple of good names. Hopefully the pedigree holds.

Your best post to date


I'm not sure what to think. Is it often that someone gets a double promotion in the same offseason? I'm glad it wasn't fassel, but has someone come from being just a positional coach, to a HC with another team with much success?

I wonder what prompted this...



I'll be optimistic about this, just curious.

Wow. That's something good to hear for a change. I guess I might just have to go ahead and jump with you.

All aboard the Zorn Express....no,....
Zorn-Mobile....no, no,.....
bah, cant think.....

[DynamiteRave]

I dont know anything about Zorn so I can't hate him. At least all those haters crying "Retread" can keep their trap shut now.

[Drift Reality]

As much as I have trashed Danny Boy in this forum and to people around me every chance I get, I have to admit that this was the best decision he could have made in my opinion.

He took a chance on a new, talented assistant coach who seems to have a great background and a lot of promise. Maybe Zorn will be Gibbs 2.0.

Now Danny Boy can get back to doing what he does best: play with the salary cap, estrange our own free agents, and go sign other team's free agents for too much money.

I win

I'm just happy that Fassel isn't the coach. Goooooo Zorn. This guy must be pretty impressive. I wonder what the Seahawks board has to say about all this! I gotta check.

it cracks me up how everyone is like "at least it wasn't Fassel." Its almost as if we could have hired a warm jar of mayonnaise and people would have said "welp...at least its not Fassel"

I would not have said that. Fassel is way better than Mayonnaise.

...It would've had to have been honey mustard. Then I'd be glad.
