Re: Is Zorn just a bad leader or the bigger issues of his coaching coming from the front office
I think you can make a very solid case that Zorn should not be a head coach in the NFL, at least, not yet. Remember, Zorn was hired to be the offensive coordinator, not the head coach. He only became head coach because the Snyderrato's favored candidates [Steve Mariucci, Jim Fassel] evoked such dread in the local fan base and media that management shifted gears. Unable to find a big-name coach [like Bill Cowher] who would work for a fool of a GM, Snyderrato fell back on Zorn. He wasn't supposed to be the head coach of the Redskins and, as far as I know, no other team was pursuing him to be a head coach.
Now, it could turn out that Zorn becomes a very good NFL head coach. We don't know yet. But a person could be forgiven for thinking Zorn is in over his head.
