Re: Thanks to coach Zorn

I always felt bad for him. It's an awful move to put someone into a position that they are not qualified for. He did his best and took his lumps like a man. He handled an awful situation with dignity and I hop he finds success somewhere else in the NFL.

His charector has been amazing this year.

Re: Thanks to coach Zorn

I feel bad for him as a man because all that I heard was that he was decent to everyone he encountered and the media that covered him had nothing bad to say about the guy. I'm not going to waste false platitudes on his coaching tenure but I hope he finds a role that suits him.

Re: Thanks to coach Zorn

I have a ton of respect for Zorn personally. His personality is great and he's a fine person who handled an impossibly-tough situation with grace and class the whole time, with plenty of laughs thrown in.

I hope he succeeds somewhere in the future in a job and organization that fits him better. He tried hard here in a no-win situation and did his best...and never lost his players' respect and drive to play for him, which shows a lot about him as a person.

I beg to differ in the end not to many guys were working that hard for him.

Re: Thanks to coach Zorn

Thanks to coach Zorn for taking the high road when he very well could have dropped and badmouthed the organization. He was thrust into a position he wasn't ready for, the skins couldn't find a qualified HC so they promoted him a bit too quick.

Zorn is a class guy and he gave it his best shot under extremely stressful conditions. I hope he does well in his next job. Good luck Z.
