Re: Zorn feels like worst coach in America.

Allow me to suggest just one reason why Jim Zorn might not resign his position.

As I recall, he signed a 5 year contract worth $15M - - I believe those were the reported terms. So assume for a moment that it is a flat contract and he gets $3M per year.

That means he still has $12M coming to him - - unless he quits or gets arrested for something outrageous like molesting a household pet. So, explain to me why someone would resign and leave $12M on the table?

Now, Danny Boy can surely fire him. In fact, the single best thing that Danny Boy has shown he knows how to do since he bought the Skins is that he does know how to fire people. Sometimes he fires the wrong people but he does fire them and they do stay fired - - except for Vinny who came back for seconds. But if I were Jim Zorn, I'd be looking to get fired and collect my $12M instead of quitting and going out looking for another job.
