Ironically enough, I heard the news on the sports ticker in Madden 08 after finishing a game as the skins. I wasn't sure if it was real or just some Madden commentary glitch...

I'm excited about this, I think this is exactly what the skins need - a first time head coach with positive feedback from the league. I wasn't looking forward to someone that had been fired from somewhere else (Gregg Williams included).

This combined with a new Director of player personnel (which hasn't gotten that much press here for some reason) leads me to believe that although we may have a rough first couple seasons, the long term outlook is bright.

My only problem with it is losing G. Williams and Al Saunders. Gregg was probably gone after not getting the nod, but keeping Al Saunders could have been huge for us. Hopefully the new OC will be someone with considerable experience to take some of the workload off of Zorn.
