I think he might of just not wanted to be involved in the "chain of communication" how the article says but i don't know...

He may be experiencing some growing pains right now, but I wouldn't call him stupid. He's not stupid.

Interesting indeed.. wonder when/if it comes out who decided on this.. or "strongly suggested" it

SmootSmack · 10-21-2009, 07:25 PM

Zorn's certainly not stupid (he probably knows what a homonym is for one thing), in over his head-perhaps? Stupid? No

What's interesting is that he's basically been put completely out of the loop so what happens if we lose badly on Monday? Is he going to just be like "Well, I had nothing to do with this. So you can't get rid of me now."

Oh man, you are vicious.

I agree.

On the flip side what if we win or loose but play a really good game?

I applaud thee, fellow grammar nazi.

i think zorn wants to be removed from the equation entirely so when we lose and Snyder fires him, it makes Snyder look really bad for firing a guy who had nothing to do with the loss.

According to Steve Largent this whole thing with Sherm Lewis was done with the idea of infuriating Zorn to the extent he would quit. Zorn's not a quitter, and he's not about to abort his contract and walk away. Way to go Jim, make him pay you!!

They say he considered it but then decided to stick in there. Wonder if the players stepping up on his behalf helped that.. if he had guys saying otherwise he prob would've left.

Makes sense; however Zorn really doesn't have to do anything to make Snyder look bad. Snyder is being petty, not wanting to pay out Zorn's contract, by trying to "humiliate" Zorn into quitting. Zorn is too smart and good for him. But the bigger picture is how even more pathetic Snyder looks. He finds it almost impossible to end any relationship w/ class. It was different w/ Gibbs because Gibbs quit. But remember how Snyder couldn't just admit he didn't get along w/ Greg Williams, instead maligning him w/ bullshit rumors out of Redskins Park that Williams didn't show Gibbs respect blah, blah, blah. Once again Snyder can't end a relationship w/ any class or for that matter any good football sense. All this just adds to my belief a coach, especially a proven coach, would just be dumb as hell to work the lil D.

It is so frustrating to know fans still somehow defend, and even seem to respect, Snyder after the way he's ruined the franchise. Words can hardly describe...

so true,we are getting more and more pathetic by the day.I dont think Zorn is a good head coach,but thats not all his fault,he was hired to be the off coord and was practically handed the head coaching job and whos going to say no to that?
I have zero confidence that this regime will do the right thing and hire the right coach for the job.I just dont see how any coach worth a shit would come into this situation

Maybe the league will pity the Redskins and make a special exemption, alowing the OC to call the pays to the helmet of the QB instead of the HC......I can dream can't I?
