Commanders Post at The Warpath - WT: A Conversation with Jim Zorn

[QUOTE=JoeRedskin;437064][b]1) Zorn's "youth" is not all that young. He's 54.[/b]

2) Zorn says all the right things. Not only does superficially say the right thing, however, he also states his basis for saying "the right thing" [I]and[/I] seems to be very straightforward about what the shortcomings are, where work is needed, who's gotta do what, etc.

I agree with the comment that he could be great or awful and we'll just have to see. I have to admit, every time I hear him speak or read his quotes I like him more. There seems to be an underlying integrity in his communication - I think that is going to be received well by his players. It also appears that he has the a) competitive mentality for the position; and b) a certain resiliency in his approach to new or unexpected developments.

I have to admit it, I get the warm fuzzies when I think of the possibilities.

Consider me Zorn-struck.[/QUOTE]

You know what's sad, I don't see 54 as old. Maybe it's cause I'm a hair away from mid 30's, or maybe it's cause it was common to see 60+ year old coaches...who knows, but I feel 54 is a young coach for some reason.
