BREAKING NEWS: Multiple Sources Confirm Jim Zorn Named Head Coach

Jim Zorn hired as Washington Redskins coach - USATODAY.com

This explains I guess why Redskins officials have been allegedly seen in the Seattle/Portland area the last couple of days.

Zorn's can't handle it all himself. Maybe there's someone in Seattle he's bringing here? Haskell? Stump Mitchell?

I'm not about to say the season is over, cause that would be stupid.

But this is interesting nonetheless, I'm not sure how I feel about thrusting someone who hasn't even been a coordinator into such a high profile position without knowing what kind of support he's going to get on his offensive staff.

Makes you wonder why we didn't keep Lazor though

STOP THE PRESSES PFT is saying that the Redskins have hired Deion Sanders to be the HC and Jamie Dukes is going to be his OC!!! Oh wait never mind I just realized it was from PFT.

who's gonna call the plays?remembering when gibbs got hired in 1980,nobody gave him much of a chance back then either,especially when he started out 0-5.

Seems like you're expressing two seperate thoughts. Are you insuating that Zorn will call the plays?

AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace · 02-09-2008, 07:16 PM

I like it because he's fresh...but he's never even coached an offense...how are the old guard going to feel about this...and the players? Its obvious that this was not the plan in the beginning.

GREAT PICK!! Anything bad I said about DS I take back. This is a great move. He will surprise us.

What in the world, based upon Dan Snyder's past history with this org., makes you think that this was a great move?

The guy is a pretty creative offensive mind, has been a pretty good QB as a player. He won't disappoint, I put him in the Garrett mold.

This has to be the quickest promotion from OC to Head Coach in the history of the NFL.......hope Jim got a huge pay raise.......seems Fassel or whoever was left said "FU Danny Boy.."....if I'm the coach, I pick the OC and DC...not you!......hope it all works...wonder if now Jim will higher a new OC or he will be the OC also.....can't wait for the news conference.....I can see Dannyboy getting jittery and defensive on this coaching process...

skinsfan_nn · 02-09-2008, 07:17 PM

So Jim is already getting a raise ( so much for the 1 mil) and a promotion and we haven't even played a game yet.......? lol

I'm taken back on this one but its clear Dan wasn't sold on bringing the old blood in here...maybe the public opinion made the difference..?

I really hope the decision wasn't influenced by public opinion.

Hmm, speechless. So is Zorn going to be the head coach and offensive coordinator? Is he going to be calling plays?
