D.C. Examiner: Zorn's job in jeopardy? (not so fast he's coming back)

According to sources inside Redskin Park, the honeymoon is over:

Would this be that big of a surprise if true?

Actually, I wouldn't be all that surprised. But....

Oh lord. Here we go. Our issues lie with personnel much more than coaching, IMO. The WCO takes time, Snyder knew this when he hired Zorn. Plus Zorn has made real strides with Campbell. Are we really gonna blow it up and start all over AGAIN? Another new offense?

Did Danny really expect a 10 or 11 win season right away when he hired Zorn? Maybe Snyder should read the "did the 6-2 start raise our expectations too high" thread.

Sadly, I would not be surprised if he fires Zorn.

I hope he doesn't fire Zorn, but to be honest I do not think the WCO is going to get us to where we all want the team to go. I also fail to see where he has made strides with JC. The guy had very solid early games, but post bye has been mediocre. If we go 2-1 the last 3 weeks Zorn will be fine. The only way Snyder fires him is if we lose the rest and look awful in doing so. If Zorn is retained he has to retool the WCO or throw it out completely. One of the problems with our WR, other than not catching the damn ball is that Gibbs had a longer vertical passing game. Moss and co were originally brought in for speed and to spread the field. The shorter stuff gives the DB a shorter field to cover and lets the LBs more able to help out, thus speed is negated. This WCO really hampers the Moss effect for us.

UGH. I hate stories like this because it can start huge internet rumors that are often entirely unfounded.

And then even worse, if the story actually does turn out to have any merit at all, it means we could be starting over yet again.

I just don't want to think about it, either way. I'm going to close my eyes and wish real hard that I never read this.

im with you on this fluffed up op-ed piece, people will read it and assume as fact that zorn's job is in jeopardy.

title of the article: Is Zorns Job In Jeopardy?

only quote from "inside" source: "the honeymoon is over . . "

I should write an article titled "Is Romo Gay?" then quote a random gay person as saying "Romo is so hot!". about the same backing as this article from the DC Examiner, guess they dont mind misleading articles as long as it gets their name out there, which it did. its posted here and where talking about it.

f'in lame on their part.

If Zorn is canned after one year... I am officially not a Skin's fan. I will burn my gear.

I swear.

If he does get fired I will most likely become a casual fan. There is no way I would be able to stomach loving something I don't believe in.

But on a weekly basis the team does things we don't believe in, yet we still love them. No? I mean I don't believe they should have drafted Fred Davis, I don't believe Jansen should be starting anymore, I don't believe they should have had Suisham attempt that 48 yarder the other day...
