Sorry but Fassel looks really good right about now.

Yeal I'll agree Fassal does look good right about now whereever he is as long as its not the HC of the Washington Redskins he really does look good.

Off the top of my head I can think of one hire that is inarguably worse...

At least we didn't hire a 31 year old college co-offensive coordinator, who was not responsible for play calling, and who no one had ever even heard of.

My friends Zorn could 0-16 and he'd still be a better hire than Lane Kiffin was.

He's never called plays in the NFL but he has at the college level.

FRPLG · 02-12-2008, 02:58 PM

Is there any real doubt about whether Zorn can be a good HC? Not really. Any negativism is applied to this particular situation and whether he can suceed here. In general though I haven't seen anyone basically say that he can't be a good HC other than this guy.

I know what to make of it - it is gutter journalism, devoid of truth and intelligence. Why post this?

Only Zorn's wins and losses are going to decide whether he's successful. This was more of an opinion article. I'm sure some were written about Mike McCarthy too before he had the great year he did last year.

I've got 2 words for the worst NFL hire of all time...

I'd add Bobby Petrino to that list as well.

This is all about Snyder...any other team hired Zorn and it would be called a smart move or at worst they would say lets wait and see.

onlydarksets · 02-12-2008, 03:44 PM

That's just drivel. It's poorly researched, riddled with inaccuracies, and, in some cases, flat out false. It reminds me of the Howard Dean meltdown from 2004.

The comments have, unfortunately, turned ugly, which is an instant "trump" card for the Kawakami apologists.

Swarley · 02-12-2008, 04:21 PM

All I have to say is that if Zorn possibly... somehow... maybe gets this team to the Superbowl that Kawakami guy is gonna catch so much heat he'll quit the second it happens. Even a playoff berth should do it since this is considered the worst hire ever.

This will definitely be an article to bookmark and revisit at some point in the future.

whats funny is the "mercury news" where this guy is employed is based out of san jose... and quite of few peeps i know love the seahawks in that general area... maybe upset he left the seahawks to go to washington??? lol did his favorite team lose a coach and now he upset... poor baby....

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 02-12-2008, 06:03 PM

I'm reserving all judgment on Zorn. To be honest, I don't remember him as a QB and I don't know how people "in the know" really view him. He could be a great hire, or he could be a miserable failure. I simply don't know.

JLW428 · 02-12-2008, 06:13 PM

First of all this was a horrible repot on an NFL team. That said, I agree with the fact that Zorn does need to prove himself. If he doesnt, make no mistake he and snyder will be facing ALOT of criticism. I'm hoping for the best along with every other skins fan (obviously). I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
