Bravado and ultimatums sound good on Monday morning but tactically are just a stupid move.

Zorn likely knows that:

a) He's fired, one way or another
b) The team knows this and may already see him as a lame duck
c) Snyder and Vinny would prefer if he quits and/or does something to violate his contract which make it cheaper for them to get rid of him
d) The rest of the league and/or nation are probably going to see him with a mix of pity and ridicule (but certainly don't put the blame squarely on him).
e) At least a few of the team's aging prima-donna stars (e.g. Portis) have a direct line to Snyder and won't hesitate to knife him in the back should he try any "it's us versus them, guys!" locker-room speeches.

In any case, Jim Zorn is maximizing the amount he gets paid for this humiliating end to a promising chapter in his life. Most of us had some form of experience like this, and if you haven't, you haven't been taking enough risks. Go read any biography of any successful entrepreneur, I guarantee there's at least one hugely embarrassing failure in there.

He will get work again as a QB coach, and my guess is will learn from this and get the chance to become an offensive coordinator again someday. Head coach? Maybe not. But I don't think we've seen the last of Jim Zorn in this league.
