Players cooling to Zorn

Animosity is bad altogether, but a little friction that challenges the players to "prove the asshole wrong" and really go out and execute is a good thing. I think in a way it's what we've seen in NY, Coughlin isn't anyone's friend, but u bet your ass the players have a heap of respect for the iron-willed man at the head of the ship. Time will tell what kind of relationship/coaching style Zorn develops over the group.

The bigger, scarier issue like many have said is whether Danny and Vinny meddle in all this business. Goddamnit if they fire Zorn at the end of the season I hope they can't even find a replacement (because nobody wants to work for them).

They won't fire a rookie HC. Only HC they shitcanned after one year was Marty and that was purely about power. Now if Zorn fails next year and his offense looks just as bad, then he better pack his bags, but I doubt Snyder is going to pull the plug after this season is over. Zorn is safe also, for if Snyder fires Zorn he will look like an ass, and his detractors who criticized him for hiring Zorn will come out looking like a rose. Only posible way Zorn gets fired is if Cowher begs for the job.
