Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

I voted 4. I think he's going to be a very solid coach for us for a good while..

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

So many people have given Zorn a high rating, because he's done nothing to show otherwise. I guess my line of reasoning is the opposite. I start low and go high. So I started at 1, and since I have liked what I've seen so far, he's moved up to 2. I can't give him total confidence, simply because he has almost no experience. I agree with Saden: confidence is earned.

I'd really like to give him more, but he's only coached and/or called plays for a single game -- and it was preseason. I have a great feeling about him, but I don't think that translates into confidence yet.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

Gave him a 4 for now - Mods, please re-administer this poll after the opener against the Giants. If we can get at least 2 offensive TDs in that game (irrespective of the result), I will stand by my 4. To score 2 TDs up there against a tough defense in a big-game environment tells me his coaching of the offense is above average.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

It's really an incomplete. But since we HAVE to pick, I'll say 3. I've said it many times before, I will wait until I see him in the regular season before I make a serious comment. I would have said a 5 for SPurrier back then, and little did I know he would be an 8 letter word in my household.

Excuse me, I need to go take a Spurrier.

Don't worry the Zornometer Poll™ is going to be a regular occurrence here to take the temperature of the Skins fan base.

Is the correct pronunciation Zorn-ahm-iter, or Zorn-O-meater?
Mod's, please, a ruling?

The first one is what I had in mind but it's open to interpretation

You have to allow for regional dialects, ethnic background and how well your dental fixative functions.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

5

I was a leary of this hire at first, favoring Saunders as OC and Gregg Williams as head coach. Zorn has done nothing but impress me so far. He seems to have a great relationship with Jason Campbell already. His demeanor, his organizational skills, especially related to the crisper practices, have won praise from the players and are great signs. Clearly, the guy has a plan, and he knows what he's doing out there.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

1.5 (.5 being for his first pre-season game) - he's never coached a team before. With every passing game I'll increase my rating, or it will remain 1.5. He has to prove himself first.

Yeah, let's see if this is delivered as consistently as BrudLee's Weekly Power Poll ;)

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™
 

Pregame it would have been 2.
Never a head coach.
Never called plays
Very little experience.

After the game he showed he knows how to call plays.
Head coaching is more than a successful preseason game though.
I give him a 3.....he'll have to beat NY or Dallas to get a 4 out of me.
To me....a 5 is a coach who gets you to the playoffs and beyond.

He's still a rookie folks

If you graphed all our responses would it be a Zornograph? And couldn't such an endeavor be called Internet Zornography? I'm so clever.
