All I have to say is WTF!? I was psyched about him coming aboard as the OC, but this seems like a huge gamble to me and comes completely out of nowhere. I totally don't know what to make of this. I'm dumbfounded by this whole search for the next head coach as it's become one giant roller coaster.

This can't be true, I didn't see his name on the poll.

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.

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.

skinsfan_nn

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..?

THANKS COACH GIBBS FOR EVERYTHING! YOUR THE MAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

This is.... I mean, WTF is going on??? How is any of this defensible?? First we hire Zorn as an OC, which is fine, even though he's never been anything but a positions coach. Then we dance around the Fassel thing for a few weeks, blow him off for a bit to mess with Spags, Spags says thanks but no thanks... Then we hire this Palermo guy to coach the D line just b/c he's Vinny's boy and ignore the fact he's never even had a cup of coffee in the NFL, then out of nowhere Zorn becomes HC??

We're a mess. No question. The rest of the league is laughing at us. I don't know if I've ever seen a coaching search handled more poorly than this. Now who's gonna be OC? Did Fassel just decide he doesn't want to be a part of this circus and tell day to go F himself?? As much as we wanted to think Snyder and Vinny were being thorough a deliberate, it's again becomes glaringly obvious these guys are in left field. Go ahead and bash me for being negative and impatient. Fine. Has Danny given ever given me a reason not to be? This is bad. And Zorn may well end up being a good coach.Andy Reid was in the same kind of mold when he came to Philly. It's not so much the candidate that bothers me, it was the process. Vinny and Danny are joke. A friggin joke.

Who's gonna be the OC????
