jbooma Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The poll should have had a 3rd option:"Unsure" - comes out of left field; give me 48 hrs. to actually think about it." That I would agree with. With news of the contract length and what we are hearing from the Northwest I am getting excited now. If everyone was right that Fossil never had a chance then this move is better. Now what will be intersting is who is the OC?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I guess it's time to unban that guy that posted "Jim Zorn will be the new head coach" about 4 hours ago when we still were in the dark. I was the one who told the guy he should be banned when I saw the thread title. :doh: I guess I couldn't take anymore speculation...but now I can't find the original post to apologize. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasi Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I like this hire. New blood, experienced former player...he comes from a potent offense. He's an NFC guy. He's got some character and will want to earn his respect. And he's not Jim Fassel. That is a MAJOR relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have no clue how Zorny will do do! I view this season as a tryout and a short term hire unless he actually wows us in 2008. If he takes us the playoffs, then we could have a long term relationship with Zorny. If The Zorn completely sucks; he will be fired and Snyder will go after every big name in 09 and Snyder may give them complete control if he has to. One thing, think of all the nicknames we can come up with! I know one thing, I am glad we have a veteran coaching staff here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 'Fallback' candidate or not, Zorn is as qualified if not more so for the job than Spagnuolo would have been and the Redskins' offense in 2007 was a unit that desperately needed a new concept to get the most out of the talent that was here, because it clearly held the team back at times. Zorn has never been a HC before. But he joins the ranks of Harbaugh and Smith this offseason as assistants that moved on to top jobs elsewhere. In a year where there was no 'wow' hire to make, I think it is a better decision ultimately to go with a fresh face rather than dig back into the well for guys like Fassel and Mariucci who were fired after 4-12 seasons in their last gigs. I would have preferred to see Zorn surrounded and supported by a more veteran front office with a stronger GM and a larger team of scouts, both on the college and pro level. Zorn will have to overcome some in-house deficiencies to be successful. But Cowher in Pittsburgh also faced a number of obstacles to winning, namely the Steelers' inability to compete in the free agent market and resign a number of their own key players who received large dollar bonuses to go elsewhere, ie Plaxico Burress the lastest Super Bowl hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 When I first heard it I said you have to be kidding me. Is this a joke. If you sit back and think about it though I can name another Former QB coach under Holgrem who had no expeirince that has done a pretty good Job in Philly.

MONTEY Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 ]']I just hope he is the kind of Coach who is disappointed with a 28 point day. Breaking 30 should become a regular thing. Lord willing. I like this. Kinda feeling he was the choice all along. But I still disklike Snyder. For now. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neophyte Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Art, You missed an option..."numb". I really don't know what to think. This was and is so terribly unexpected. Frankly, I think will still be checking the coaching roster on opening day just to make sure I am not dreaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 This thread needs more bad puns...Are you Zorny for the new coach? Or is this a Zorn in your side? Do you need to sleep on it and see how you feel in the Zorning? Do you think the decision was based on the Zorn supremacy? Or was it the Zorn ultimatum from the fans' disapproval of Fassel? Do you think this was a sexy Zornstar hiring? What do you think his favorite food is? Zorn-on-the-cob? Zornbread? Zorn casserole? Is he a Zorn-again Christian like Gibbs? ...I think I've Zorn out all the bad puns... :applause: Cometh the hour, cometh the Zorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 OK, ASF. What's next? Inquiring minds want to know. I want to know what Art knows about Fassel's leaks and backlash they caused. His comment smelled of inside information, and I suspect he knows a lot more about this than he's let on. Especially given the position of his source, whom I suspect was particularly annoyed by Fassel's actions, given the source's position. Hey Art, how about it?

ERIC THE REDskinsfan Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm all for it. It's definitely not what I expected, but I'm excited to move on with Zorn at the helm. Let's get to work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsince72 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Zorn may not have lead a team meeting or have HC experience but he's been around if for years. He should know a thing or two. Plus, he's hungry. A focus will be put on current and future QB's which is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Art enought with the homerism, and the spin for the team. How do you honestly feel about giving the job to someone that has never had a coaches meeting, called a play or even run an offense???

Campbell's_da_man Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I think he would do well as a offensive coordinator, probably with some growing pains at first in the new system. But Head Coach, that's one tall order? I think the jury's gonna be out for a while on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan4ever Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I had posted in earlier threads the idea of promoting Blache to HC and Gray as DC if the other candidates fell through.My thinking was that Blache had more experience and already knew the players and staff that was in place.But I was stunned to hear Zorn was promoted and a little confused at how Snyder came to this decision. Now that I read the press release and had time to think about it, I like the idea of a coach without any baggage and he would make a great mentor for JC.Also he comes from one of the most successful coaching families ever. No reason to think he can't get it done and I hope he does. Hail Zorn!!! and HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgm5286 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I can live with this! Was hoping for someone with more experience, it's a pretty big pair of shoes to fill. I have been a loyal fan since Lombardi came to town and was wondering how we were going to live with a retread coach. When Gibbs was hired by Jack, I felt doubt in his ability too. Boy was I wrong there!!!!! Hopefully Zorn will succeed and everyone goes to work on Mondays happy for years to come. This team needs to be the solid winning team it was way back then. I hope the ownership will let this happen. Hail to the Skins! Best of luck Coach!!!! :dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
