If I'm Snyder, the day the season ends Zorn is gone. Here's my termination discussion with him, Jimmy I'm sorry things didn't work out. I have to apologize for putting you in a tough situation for a first time head coach. You were in over your head and that was my fault. I wish you the best, but we have to move in another direction.
The second thing I'm doing is calling up Vinny and saying, sorry pal but our way clearly isn't working. We've tried big name coaches, big name players, now it's time to try a big time GM. See you on the racquetball court.
Now, the third thing I do is dial up Bill Polian in Indy. I'm saying Bill, I've got a blank check here with your name on it. I will make you the highest paid GM in the history of sports. I'm giving you 100% autonomy and control to build and run this franchise. Build me a winner. If he turns me down I'm saying, is your son there... can I talk with him?

Not only would that be a great move but that move would also be perfectly timed. Doing it the end of the year would show that he is not making rash decisions. Making a great decision like that would really endear him to the fans.
My only caveat is this...I still don't trust Snyder at all. To ensure that he is not influencing the roster or personnel in the future. The person who comes in has to be majorly underpaid so that person doesn't feel ANY obligation to let Snyder in the front office or any decision making process.
