To me, that's the most alarming thing about Zorn. Officially, I'm against the idea of firing him. But if he shows absolutely no willingness to adjust his system to the players we have, especially if the players are better suited to a different system, and if he refuses to at least show he's got an open mind about tweaking his offense if there isn't marked improvement in '09, then that's a problem.

I would like to think that Zorn is mature enough and possibly would recognize Christensen's ability to build great QB/WR tandems to listen to some of what he say but teaching/coaching our WR is not about totally designing plays. He could still take Zorn's plays and give tips and hints to the WR's as to how to get free at the line, tips on route running, tips on how to fake out the defender and maybe body placement. I know some of this is basic and our WR's should know these things but watching them for several seasons it appears they don't.

Plus maybe he could add some ideas to Zorns plays. We all thought the game had passed Gibbs by but it hadn't 'cause he was able to listen to other coach's ideas as to how to make the play better.
