[quote=Buster;614344]This is assuming Vinny is there for the rest of the season. :D


I expect them both to be gone after Week 17's game, but I still do not think it is impossible that Zorn is fired this season after some horribly-embarrassing game that gets Snyder's blood boiling.[/quote]

If you listen closely to what Cerrato is saying here, not only is he endorsing Jim Zorn as HC for the remainder of the season, he sounds as though he intends to be here as well.

Cerrato said: I want to make "a few things perfectly clear" Jim Zorn is the HC of the Washington Redskins for the rest of the season, and hopefully into the future.......frightning!!

"Hopefully into the future"

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

I can live with Zorn for the remainder of the season, kinda half expected it. However, VC is another matter. Maybe DS could show good faith to the fans and shit can VC to show he is looking to handle the Skins in the future the right way. or not and let VC keep pissing off the fans with his diatribe.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

I think Vinny wants Zorn here longer, because that is the only way he will keep his job. I have no doubt that Snyder is putting intense pressure on VC to force something good to happen. If it doesn't sayonara VC

[quote=firstdown;614409]Yea, this comes from a Boy's fan who has a coach that looks like someone stomped on his Wally World's doll after every negative play or Romo int. They also brought in the guy who was suppose to take his place when he was fired but he cannot even run the O so they kept old stupid to run the team.[/quote]
Well, if it makes you feel better we could compare head coaches. Just to see which one makes more sense keeping for the season.

Why don't you go ahead and do that, then get back to me.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

[quote=SBXVII;614417]The sad thing is after the fans being so disgruntled, the media speculation, the fans most likely won't be happy with this turn of events, so I hope DS is ready for some more "Booing" and "Sell the team" and "Vinny must go" chants while at games. That's second to fans selling their tickets which some have started to do. At work we have people offering up Skins/Eagle tickets for free and no one wants them.

I just get the feeling it's going to get a lot uglier before seasons end.

Whats wrong with selling beer in the bathroom? It ends up there at some point anyways unless your at the new Dallas stadium and you just take a leak on the first star you see.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

This announcement would have had more oomph if it came from Danny, since he can still fire both Zorn and VC late Monday night. But I hope that this sticks. When I've thought about who would take over for the rest of the year if Zorn were fired, I've become ill.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

[quote=Longtimefan;614355]Could serve as the public endorsement the players have been calling for. It does offer just a "little" stability to what otherwise has become a calamity. If there's any such thing as the "lesser of two evils" then Zorn is probably the best option at least until the end of the season.[/quote]

longtime fan, i like and agree with alot of your posts, this one as well sir.

go skins!!

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

Are we really placing great faith in this report? Because Vinny said it then it must be true? He also said that he hopes Zorn is the coach for many years in the future. I guess that is technically true because it would mean there was some sort of miraculous turnaround, but we all know that is complete bull. Total spin from VC. Also just setting the cover in case they are able to fire Zorn for cause at some point or if he resigns under pressure. "Hey we wanted him to succeed and gave him every opportunity to do so, but he did X so we had to let him go (and not pay him)."

Probably Zorn is the coach for the duration, maybe he is not. Vinny saying he will be is next to worthless.

Honestly even before this "endorsement" I was thinking Zorn would probably last the season. Snyder doesn't want to fire yet another coach during the season making the job even less desirable than it already is.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

Well, if I'm Jim Zorn, I have no idea whether if I am relieved about this or what? Part of me can't help but to think the screws will continue to be tightened on Zorn as the season progresses until he finally screams uncle.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

Watch next week, they tell Zorn that Chris Meidt will be the new QB coach

Two weeks later, they tell Zorn that Joe Bugel will be holding the press conferences

Three weeks later, they tell Zorn that Stan Hixon will be attending Zorn's kids' parent-teachers conferences

Four week later, they tell Zorn that John Palermo will be sitting at the head of the dinner table at the Zorn home for Thanksgiving

Yup. Plus without this endorsement, every single day in the media for the next 10 weeks you'd be hearing "is this it for Zorn?" or "latest update on Zorn's job status..." Those kind of constant distractions are bad for everyone in the organization.

Barring a miracle he's done in 10 games, but at least this lets the staff focus on trying to win a few games instead of putting out fires.

I seriously doubt Cerrato's statement will stop anyone from speculating about Zorn's job status. I agree that was likely the goal, but I doubt it will have much effect.

[quote=hooskins;614353]I love how some posters will find negativity in this move. The masses just want to bash ownership, and that is gonna happen regardless of what they do.

This was the right move by ownership/VC. Quell the media and give Zorn support. Now ESPN and SC can stfu about firing Zorn 24/7. This doesnt mean ownership is off the hook, but for now they did the right thing by endorsing the Z-man.[/quote]

Ownership and mgt deserve everything they're getting right now. And they're only endorsing him now cause Shanahan wouldn't take the job mid season.

[quote=redsk1;614360]I have no problem w/ keeping JZ for the rest of the season. I just don't believe anything VC sais. Never have. If the skins lose big and get embarrassed Monday we'll see if VC meant what he said.

VC shouldn't have a radio show anyways. Earlier in the year, VC had Mel Kiper on and was talking about the Notre Dame game. I can't remember who they were playing, but VC was saying that it was a must win for Weiss in order for him to keep his job.

MK then told Vinny that the Skins needed to beat the Lions or he'd lose his job. Nice reply by Mel Kiper.[/quote]

That's actually incredibly stupid. I'm not a fan of anything going on with our team right now, but that's so cheap and brainless I'm surprised it's on ESPN's site.

[quote=Mattyk72;614343]I kinda expected this. Snyder doesn't want to fire another coach midseason... it's only going to reflect poorly on him in the end. Looking back I'm sure he regrets canning Norv during the season and wishes that didn't happen.

The best thing to do is ride out this season and then address things after the season ends.[/quote]

i actually went out and bought a new car the day, in fact one hour, after that happened lol.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

well the one where the WR ran in circles could have been called for ARE. I thought it was normal piling on, but funny enough.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

I do not think this "backing" of Zorn is slowing down any agenda at all.

Even though they have assured Zorn the season at the least, that does not mean that a coaching search and interview process can not commence immediately. Just because Zorn has the job for the season, does not stop Snyder from interviewing as early as Tuesday.

Front office can start screening and interviewing, taking thier time over the next couple fo months so they have a solid candadite, with an "agreement in priciple" already in place by January.

This does not slow down the process at all. Shanahan, Cowher, Holmgren, Gruden...none would ever take a coaching job mid-season. Reports are that Shanahan already turned the job down the week after the Detroit loss.

But that does not mean that Danny-boy cannot convince Shanahah (or any of the other top tier coaches) over the next 8-10 weeks to take the job for next season.

Re: Zorn to coach the rest of the season
 

Don't be surprised if a loss to the eagles changes snyders mind, and keep in mind that the person saying this is someone who is on the hot seat as well. At the end of the day snyder has the final say.

But what if Zorny somehow makes a drastick turn around and we suddenly win a few? Na never mind.....
