Shanny is going to be like a marine drill instructor compared to Zorn, and I bet that is why they liked Zorn.

Sorry--I wasn't being clear. I agree with you, but I think that the players actually don't want Zorn to stay. They just say that in interviews because it's the professional thing to do.

Players favoring a softer coach is more of a college phenomenon. I think NFL players want coaches who will help them win, and being a hardass is perfectly fine as long as it helps them win. Just look at Tom Coughlin.
