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

Yeah I mean you've got to wonder how much he really got involved with the run game. How do you integrate those two things- a power run game run by a departed coach with a previously unknown (to the players) WCO passing game? How involved are Zorn and Bugel in their gameplanning? It's worth noting that we have a new RB coach, a new OC and HC, all needing production from an O-line run by a guy who none of them have ever worked with.

And it's not like we had a legendary running game. Sure it was solid under Gibbs, but that doesn't mean Zorn couldn't have implemented at least some of his running packages.

I think to a degree the situation has been unfair to Zorn. We kept nearly every major coach (aside from GW leaving and S.Smith and Stump coming in), and never really let Zorn go through the process of building a staff. I think the hiring process has hindered Zorn more than him being given the job itself.

He interviewed for - and won - the OC position. Then suddenly he gets offered the HC position?? Of course he's gonna accept, and he wasn't gonna bitch about a staff either, especially with how late it was getting as far as coaching placement throughout the league.
