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

[quote=Longtimefan;419927]I think it was definately Snyders intention to hire Jim Fassel, but after witnessing the extreme backlash form his fan base he realized he had to do something different.

It was said that Snyder was impressed by what went on in Seattle as as result of our two playoff apearences there during Gibbs II. Maybe this is a classic case of "If you can't beat um, join um". I like the move though, and am interested in seeing just what else in involved as far as staff is concerned.[/quote]


Yes, I think you are right. Jim Fassel would have been hired if Snyder and Cerrato could have gotten away with it, but it would have been a public relations disaster, and they knew it. Everything would have pointed back to them, and they would have born the brunt of it.

So, despite the mockery to the contrary, the fans do have a voice, and a website like this has influence because it lets the fans express that voice.

By playing their role, the fans forced Snyder and Cerrato to reconsider their options. Humbled, Snyder's better side came out and he remembered the strong impression Jim Zorn's character made on him. The same side of Snyder that was impressed by Joe Gibbs from a personal standpoint probably influenced him to choose Zorn.

I haven't been this excited since I was a kid and got a nice pair of dress slacks for Christmas.

I like Zorn and think he will do a good job.

While I agree with your post, the fact remains that Gibbs was.....Gibbs so there was no way Snyder was going to turn down a chance to bring him back.

Jimmy cracked [B]Zorn[/B] and I don't care!

oooooooh me so Zorny!!!!

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

If we could give Spurrier a chance, I certainly like Zorn's chances given that the defensivde side of the ball should be stable. Also if I'm not mistaken aren't teams with new coaches allowed to start OTA's earlier. JC and the offense will need all the extra time they can get with the new playbook JZ will clone from Seattle.

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

I am actually excited about this. The guy is clearly respected in the league and apparentlky is a good Xs and Os guy. The question of course is his leadership ability. One would have to assume snyder understands the value of leadership since having Gibbs around. If they "fell in love" with the guy then maybe they see the leadership potential.

I'm going to call it right now. The next time we are looking fo a head coach the leading candidate will be...Jim Fassel :)

What?!?!? No coach under DS has ever left/been fired before his contract was up. Zorn is here for 5 years at least! ;)
