Re: Zorn to stop calling plays

This Hue Jackson all over again?

I just hope Sherman Smith isn't the one calling plays now.

Smith is a Zorn guy right? I doubt they would trade Zorn for...more Zorn.

Any particular reason?

But it seems as though it will be Lewis anyway, no surprise. I'm curious as to what Zorn will do now. They want him to be more of a "head coach" and work with the QB they say. But at this point, what work is there to do with the QB? I mean you just benched him, although he should start next week, and you've been working with him for well over a year now. Often, it seems, at the expense of other areas of the team. Unless working with the QB means Colt Brennan/Andre Woodson? As for being more of a "head coach" I suspect that means making key decisions such as "punt or go for it on 4th down", but do we trust Zorn to make those decisions? I don't know

I of course want us to win next week, but it's probably just time to put Zorn out of his complete misery.

LOL it's a total mess right now isn't it?

An outsider who's been with the team for a few weeks is now calling the plays?? It's cluster F time at Redskins Park.

And it's only getting worse. We're going to get TROUNCED against some of these heavyweight teams ahead on the schedule.

I don't know.. like I started the other thread about a week and a half or so ago, it's hard to see what his role even is other than helping come up with the gameplan. I was looking more for insight, I didn't really follow his previous work so I didn't know if there were flaws in it or what, I don't think he even called the plays in Tenn did he?

As far as the work with the QBs, if it was about Colt or Woodson I'd think that almost implies he'll be here a bit longer than expected, but I guess those guys have to develop whether Zorn is here next year or not. Imagine if they interviewed guys, nobody wanted it, and they tried to stick with Zorn?

Seriously. Not like Vinny/Danny care about professionalism, but this is a joke. They systematically "hired" Zorn (from OC to HC after a few days), and now they're systematically firing him. It's so shitty. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, including Zorn, knows damn well he's gone. Why keep him around? It it a charade involving money and contract buyouts? Just get him outta there. What a shit show.
