Re: BREAKING NEWS: Multiple Sources Confirm Jim Zorn Named Head Coach

Wow.

So after perhaps the most thorough head coaching hiring process in recent memory Snyder chooses a guy they didn't even intend to interview for head coach. Not saying that it won't work out with Zorn--but can anyone feel confident in the Snyder/Cerrato decision making process?

If it was about a systematic interview process--where names are whittled down to an eventual pick--fine I buy it. Even an eleventh hour candidate added to the list, who wows them, might have us thinking that the approach was valid. But to hire Zorn as the OC and then two weeks later name him HC is bizarre at best. At worst, it is indicative of some sort of last minute snafu with the remaining candidates that management did not forsee. Of course the spin will be that ultimately Snyder thought long and hard and Zorn just stuck in his memory as the best interview (whether for HC, OC, or position coach). Then they sat down with Zorn again and he impressed them even more.

I hope it works out with Zorn. I hope this management team knows something we don't. But instead of feeling confident with this hire--I'm left feeling a bit confused. I guess that's where we Skins' fans are left now with Snyder and Cerrato in charge. Confusion instead of confidence...
