ESPN/ WT : Redskins Hire Zorn to be Offensive Coordinator (Merged) M.E.T.

[SurfinSkinFan84]

Lets try sitting back with patience & some understanding, and let the course of actions develop. Instead of registering all of this negativity. .

That's what everyone wants. It's Snyder that is being impatient with the current coaching staff. The search is taking a too long yes, but there are viable candidates in-house, that have proven track records. If he let the current staff run THEIR course, with the current foundation of the team, the negativity would calm down. We know he wants the best for the team, but it's pretty clear that players do too, and they want everyone back. Snyder is a good business man, but his relationship with coach and how much they get along, doesn't matter as much as the results on the field.

Who would Sean Taylor hire, Danny boy???

[RestrictedView4Ever]

They won't annouce anything until it's offical. He probably hasn't offically signed yet.

Because, Zorn had to tell Seattle that he was leaving. Somebody from the Seahawks probably leaked it to Clayton who's based in Seattle. That's how it probably happened.

That makes sense. Thanks.

You are not wrong. Though if 22 more sources appear, we will merge 'em .

[CGSKINS]

I dont know much about Zorn personally... Seattle has enjoyed fine offensive seasons though... They basically abandoned the run halfway through the season and I cant ever see the Skins doing that again (Spurrier).

Obviously as someone stated earlier, whoever our HC is going to be - he will have ZERO input which is horrible.

Saunders is obviously gone... Yet A N O T H E R ridiculous signing/contract that didnt pan out... I just dont get how Snyder can NOT see all of these mistakes... Hes just too thickheaded.

And as I mentioned earlier, to hire an OC before a HC is just undermining whatever the HC might want to do... Unless its Williams, and he approves of this.

Im just so sick of the circus. Really... After reading about Al Davis and Kiffin, it just makes me shudder...

I feel for all us die-hard fans who wait year after year only to be disappointed.

um....... It,s been reported that Gregg williams and Fassel are both high on Jim Zorn.

They both wanted him as there OC.

You are going to catch some stuff buddy.

I'm avoiding posting the PFT piece for this very reason. And the hellfire I will get from the PFT anti-army.

Boy, JLC is really slacking today.

WOW. Wikipedia already states that Jim Zorn is currently the Washington Redskins offensive coordinator.

[KingGibbs]

Dude.......

[jfs06473]

hiring a cordinator before hiring a head coach is sublime stupidity... danny is already sending out the message that the next head coach is not in control of his own team... {QUOTE]

Unless...he's already hired the HC and is waiting to announce them all at the same time. The only reason I think that might be the deal is because of his love of the big, splashy announcement. After all, he's gotta top Al Davis somehow!

[LiveStrongSkins]

I like the Zorn hire because it sounds as if he gets results from his QB's. This isnt a Fassel situation, where they actually have the nerve to say he helped develop John Elway... He got results from Batch and a retread in Hasslebeck when he came to Seattle. Wallace also performed well in spot duty and thats a guy that was supposed to be an NFL wide receiver. Al Saunders offense is great when there is a heady veteran quarter back thats been there and done that, but I dont think a young QB can do so well in it because it requires tremendous recognition of coverages, many of which JC hasnt even seen yet. A combo of Gregg and Zorn would be fine with me.

Boy, JLC is really slacking today.

I guess he felt like taking the weekend off or there is more to come.

[skinsaddict]

i think this is a GREAT post, because it shows the lameness of JLC

[Jumbo]

LIke I said earlier, I'm surpsised Jim left the area here, but Dan can be very alluring when hiring. And IMO, people who love JC and believe he's the full meal deal could consider this a boon vs. Al being JC's main mentor.

Cite?

I haven't read that anywhere. And seeing as how GW has been completely silent, this claims SMACKS of BS.

[Jimmmbobb]

It is amusing to read "patience" comments....just as it is to read all the other comments on Dan Snyder.....and that is because every time we Skins fans get to deal with a new coach under Snyder the outcome is not good. Even Gibbs' tenure the second time around was in reality...a failure...his record was a losing one....What we need is a coach for a long time......one who can build a winning tradition...GIBBS WAS NEVER THAT THIS TIME AROUND....and that is why Gibbs has left.....I think he knew that...SO.....Diaper Danny needs to grow up.....again....hire a coach...never mind if he gets along with him or her...he needs a long term stable process....and Dan needs to allow this one the time to work

[abu69]

this is so gay

[Backpack3r]

This is a great move! Now dont hire Fassel!

Zorn will be a great OC, nice move

[Oldfan]

This could bode quite well for those who prioritize developing Campbell.

...or the kid who replaces Campbell in 2009. I don't think it's likely you'll find someone with a better resume for developing QBs, but his rise to the OC position was kinda slow. He's 54.

[Backpack3r]

Whats JLC?

[PorkSkins]

There is no way Danny boy is hiring or picking these coaches without talking to whoever he thinks is the next HC.
