You are incorrect sir. Please see my other posts, he was qb coach AND asst. head coach before he took over in Philly. Zorn was just a QB coach. While Reid comes the closest, it's not the same.

You have a point there, but before we played with everyone's titles, titles for other teams actually meant something. They actually groomed Reid, Zorn has not been groomed.

One of my coworkers jokingly told me last week he got a tip that Zorn was going to be our head coach...I guess he wasn't joking

But he would tell me like 15 names a day. Every name under the sun

I'm glad the search is finally over. Kind of strange how the whole process went down, but thats almost to be expected. Now the team can move forward, now the real work begins for the organization. Hopefully Zorn will be successful.

A head coach is only as good as the coaches and players that surround him. He's got Buges, Byner, Blache and Grey. And doesn't Danny Smith return too? Plus some solid vets in the locker room. It's not all on the HC. Let's remember that. I don't like the hire but I think we'll be fine.

I really don't know what to think about this. On one hand i'm kinda excited and ready to move on. I really don't know anything about Zorn other than people saying he's pretty sharp. Then again alot of NFL position coaches are sharp, smart, prepared but that doesn't make them coaching material.

It really makes me think our organization is a clumsy as it's made out to be. It makes me think they didn't have a "list" of potential candidates ready (which they should have) prior to JG's stepping down. It took over 30 days and they go w/ someone they originally hired as an oc. Our FO wasn't prepared.

That being said maybe we wound up w/ the right guy. Hopefully our FO will be smart and try to build a good team.

I just thought I'd post these again

I'd approve of the move if they had hired Kermit the Frog at this point. I'm just grateful that we finally have a coach so the Warpath can start having intelligent conversations again.

Good read, indeed! I hope there will be enough Zorn to go around, he does have a full plate. It will be of key importance to get a couple coaching positions filled with guys that he wants to bring in that he has trust in OC/AOC, and I'm sure now a QB coach that hes worked with to help make this big transition as smooth as possible.

I have a feeling that one day Garret vs Zorn is going to be a great rivalry. Hope I'm half-right.
