Zorn Fired

I don't get the blind hate for Zorn. Dude was over his head and the fools that hired him should get the blame. He's not blameless, but he wasn't the only problem in this team.

Agree 100%.

Yeah, I agree. I mean you can't blame Zorn for taking the job. I work at a pretty large company, and if htey offered me the CEO job tommarow, and gauranteed me $25 million dollars over the next five years... what am I going to say, no? That was 100% on Snyder for hiring him.... I dont want to get back on Snyder because I think that might be what made him finally realize he needed to change... but I kinda liked Zorn in a way. Not for our team as the head coach...but I certainly don't wish ill will on the guy.

Hell, even if you take the money part out of the equation, Zorn does seem like a guy who is confident that he could get the job done, in his own rather original way.

Zorn's a good man though and his approach does have its merit. If I wanted someone to mentor my future kids (if I have any) or someone who needs support, Zorn would be someone I'd definitely consider. But to lead a football team, he just doesn't have the right approach.

How do I know? I usually hang out on other teams fan sites and mock them but pathetic use of time aside you figure 3rd year guy, coming back into the same system for another year, the addition of Boldin/Stallworth/Houshmanzadeh to throw to, 2 starting quality backs and a good OL, an impactful defense - I mean what more do you want. I live in Baltimore Im familiar with the Ravens. I'm a Skins fan familiar with the Zorn debacle. Ive watched Cam Cameron since he arrived in Bmore- HAVE YOU???

You look at Flacco's numbers and while his TD went up, INt's went down, YET his passing yards remained low around 3200-3500 yds.

I almost reject your question. You see there is a team called the Ravens if your not familiar. This conversation sorta needs a prerequisite of Zorn/Ravens/Cameron/Flacco/Skins- to which Im qualified not too sure about where your coming from on this.


LOL..........yeah well, I was kinda looking more for facts ...like his yards per catch had dropped(about the same) or less TD's(up) then before or not finding the open man. but as someone else asked are they canning the recievers coach also? One thing for sure players like him so I'm still trying to understand how you think Zorn stunted Flacco's growth as a QB?

Flacco not pleased with Zorn getting axed, at all:
