I also would have liked to have seen GW and Saunders given a fair chance as well when Gibbs left. They have very good football minds. There are several coaches that found the promise land on their second HC jobs like Tom Coughlin, Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden to name a few. GWilliams is not a bad coach.

Should've, could've, would've...it's all now water under the bridge. The way I see it with Zorn, he survived a brutal beginning of the season, but the offense fizzled out b/c of injuries and age in the second half...and the defense could not carry the team anymore. Zorn also inherited a team that has made some terrible offseason decisions regarding trades, free agency, and contracts in the past (and it is still feeling the effects). Right now, this is the team he inherited.
I'm sick of the Atlanta and Miami comparisons. Those teams have not made the bad decisions in the offseasons that we have had. They've had good offensive lines that protected their QB (both finish in the top team of least sacks allowed). And had an experienced coaching staff (coordinators and assistants) that I don't think the Redskins had. Atlanta (like Baltimore) won the lottery with their QB, and got a good free agent running back (another proof that their o-line was very good). Miami had some good veteran players (i.e. Ronnie Brown) and drafted very well (offensive and defensive lineman) last year; also they got lucky that Chad Pennington's arm didn't fall off.
