Cerrato on Zorn
 

I hate to rehash this topic but VC is on 106.7 FM in DC right now and he's just throwing Zorn repeatedly under the bus, and backing up over him. Says he did his radio show bc Zorn was bad with the media; says Zorn was stubborn and wouldnt listen to others' suggestions.

Yeah I think we've all heard and aware about Zorn's stubborness, but what business does Cerrato have blasting Zorn? That hire was 100% on Cerrato.

Yeah VC did more damage here than Zorn could have if he was trying to! IMO

When your owner is willing to outspend everyone in the entire league, it's a huge indictment of your capability as a GM if you can't at least make the playoffs semi-consistently.

Top 40% of teams in the league make the playoffs, and you can't even get there with all the money in the world?

Even Brian Cashman has a better track record than that. Go away, Vinny.

Well at least he had the balls to go on 106.7, I could give two poops for Vinny or Zorn. They are both gone, so they aren't a part of what I love. **** the both of them, and I mean that in the most respectful way that I can.

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Vinny hired Zorn. Zorn's a nice guy, but that hire was one of the worst hires possible. Vinnie couldn't hire anyone else, b/c anyone else didn't want to work w/ Vinny. Yes, go away Vinnie, we'd rather not hear your name ever again.

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Does Vinny ever own up to any of his mistakes??

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

I've never once known him to

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Vinny is a moron.
If he told me titties were nice I wouldn't believe him.

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Eff Vinny. That is such a b*tch move too, over a year later to be still whinning like a ho when given a chance. Obviously Vinny has no Tigerblood and is not into winning

SS- I didn't hear the bit on the radio, but did the host of the show take him to task on the fact that HE hired Zorn? I mean, doesn't Vinny realize that in mocking/talking down about Zorn he's actually crapping on his ability to do his job?

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Zorn was the gun, Vinny was the shooter.

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

Why do people still talk to Vinny? Seriously...

Not that I heard. I know I'm not exactly practicing what I'm about to preach here by starting a thread on Vinny but can't Vinny just let it go already?

Zorn was a desperation hire. Several candidates who were interviewed by the Redskins, and felt to be a "Sure fire" head-coach, were not hired because the prospective coaches had big disagreements on philosophy, and roster/staff.

One such prospect, former NYG Head Coach Jim Fassel, quite plainly said after his interviews fell through, that he intended to change/reshape the roster, specifically at QB, as he felt that Campbell was not an NFL starter. He also wanted players to earn spots through training camp, something that has been long forgotten at Redskins park, as the contracts dictate who starts.

Gregg Williams was another guy who said similar things. The feeling these guys gave us was that the Skins Front Office wanted a coach who would just coach what was given to him. In other words, his roster, coaching staff, and other stuff was already assigned. And for obvious reasons no competent Head Coach would agree to that. So Zorn, who was originally supposed to be an OC, was hired as HC after their other choices fell through.

There were numerous articles stating the above, people can look them up at will. And Jim Fassell was the most outspoken of how asinine the interviews were, where he basically kept telling them that he wanted to make changes to the roster and assemble his own staff.....

Re: Cerrato on Zorn
 

This is just sad. I'd like to see Zorn get hired elsewhere. I don't think he'd turn out to be a multi-super bowl champ or anything, just a little bit more successful. I don't think Cerrato could have been in a better situation and he messed it up royally.
