It's a joy watching other teams play

And that one guy does three jobs!!! LOL.

I still think Zorn is a pretty good coach, personally, but he's completely in over his head wearing as many hats as he does.

You could build a successful coaching staff around Zorn by tearing down the offensive coaching staff and piecing it together again around what Zorn does well (i.e. call protections, make halftime adjustments), but hell, it's way easier to just blow the whole thing up and throw a truckload of money at a pretty face who can make losing fun again!

Are you referring to a certain ol' ball coach who is now in charge of the South Carolina football team? LOL.

Well, Jon Gruden was once voted one of the 50 sexist men in America.

But I was actually referring to Shanahan.

Our coaching doesn't suck because Zorn can't coach, it sucks because it's Jim Zorn and a bunch of people who have no idea what Jim Zorn is doing. Jim Zorn has no particular concept of understanding successful receiver route combinations, and there's no one on staff who complements that weakness. So our routes are just very vanilla.

I think Zorn did everything that was advertised of him (trained Campbell), but with the benefit of hindsight, this plan was destined for failure from the beginning. The warning signs were there, I just wasn't close enough to the team to see them.
