Zorn feels like worst coach in America.

I think its about time that Zorn has stepped up and put a check on himself. Now I can say that I have a small amount of respect for him. Usually he'll throw anybody on that team under the bus without taking any responsibility for his own actions.

Its about time...

AMEN Brother!!! I still feel that better days are ahead if we stick to the offense and get the young receivers involved as they improve. It doesn't matter what schemes we run on offense or defense if we don't get better in the trenches, especially through the draft.

Well admittedly I'm wrong a lot, probably more often than not. Anyway I hope so too but thinking about it from Zorn's perspective worries me i.e. if he really did have the opportunity to be OC in Seattle, which is home in the first place, and avoid all the crazy media and scrutiny for probably a similar paycheck... not hard to believe he'd take it. Oh yeah, he wouldn't have to work for/with Snyder and Cerrato anymore either. Somehow I doubt that has been entirely enjoyable as these guys have egos that wouldn't fit in the stadium if it had a dome.

If Zorn left now, of his own accord, I think it would hurt his chances of becoming a head coach again. I don't think he would leave because it would be quitting and he would be considered a failure. At least I think that is how he would feel about it. I don't think that's his style. I really think he can win here and given a chance and a little support from the FO he will. Now....will he get that from the FO? Who knows?

Ask Detroit if they'd like a rookie coach who can bring a .500 record.

Stupid statement. It's not Zorn's fault that key guys get hurt, the offensive line got old (and hurt) and guys are dropping passes and fumbling like Plaxico carrying his gun.

Now he thinks he's "Probably" not the worst coach and that the presence of alot of redskins in the probowl is evidence that the offense is playing well....

While I love seeing Skins in the Probowl... its more evidence of a great marketing campaign getting the fans to vote then it is of Zorn being a good coach.

Re-cast the ballots now and we have Cooley in there... maybe Portis and Samuels.

Allow me to suggest just one reason why Jim Zorn might not resign his position.

As I recall, he signed a 5 year contract worth $15M - - I believe those were the reported terms. So assume for a moment that it is a flat contract and he gets $3M per year.

That means he still has $12M coming to him - - unless he quits or gets arrested for something outrageous like molesting a household pet. So, explain to me why someone would resign and leave $12M on the table?

Now, Danny Boy can surely fire him. In fact, the single best thing that Danny Boy has shown he knows how to do since he bought the Skins is that he does know how to fire people. Sometimes he fires the wrong people but he does fire them and they do stay fired - - except for Vinny who came back for seconds. But if I were Jim Zorn, I'd be looking to get fired and collect my $12M instead of quitting and going out looking for another job.

I like Zorn... he hasn't really produced the results we as fans would have wanted. But 7-7 in his first year is decent all things considered. NOT giving him at least one more year would be beyond dumb in my opinion.

I like Zorn's attitude and demeanor. I think he has what it takes to be a HC.

[redskinjim]

what a crappy situation after the great start i think its time to retool the team.Start with young fresh legs.LOOK AT ATLANTA fire vinny he blows

[Joe Kidd]

Zorn needs to be back if we're serious about comitting to the long term and trying to build something. You can't go one and done and expect to grow as a team. We'll be right back to square one next year with a coaching change.

[DarkKnight]

He is.

Not the worst, but he is up there. He wasn't/isn't ready to be a head coach.

I think in about 5 years, he will. However, I don't want to wait for him to get good with 4 more bad years in DC.

[SmootSmack]

I believe the contract is really for 3 years
