BREAKING NEWS: Multiple Sources Confirm Jim Zorn Named Head Coach

[Oakland Red]

Well, I think this is a good move, though I don't know a lot about Jim Zorn. From what people are saying about him, I get the feeling he is, as Shawn Springs says, very smart and very sharp.

As a point for his character, I like that he is very involved with Medical Teams International, which is dedicated to getting proper health care to disadvantaged people in developing countries.

Character counts, and everyone seems to praise his character.

He has had long tutelage under one of the great coaches in the NFL, Mike Holmgren, who wanted to keep him.

Intuitively, he seems like a person who is ready to lead an NFL team, and be successful.

I think we should welcome Jim Zorn and be supportive of him.

The most refreshing thing about the Zorn hire is that we can't reasonably expect this guy to have a winning season his first time out. If we go 1-15 next season, I'll be disappointed . . . but at least I won't be ANGRY. Every other coach was expected to win and win quickly. For those of you that think that the Zorn hiring is a joke and embarrassing, you may be right, but this needed to happen and it needed to happen a long time ago.

The Washington Redskins are dead. Long live the Washington Redskins!

If Berman says, at any point, 'Do I make you Zorny baby' I'll fly to Bristol and choke him.

I have no idea but people keep throwing it around as in "he has experience calling plays under center."

By the way, Joe Gibbs played football at Cerritos Junior College. Jim Zorn attended high school in Cerritos, CA. The distance between the football fields (according to Google Earth) is less that 1 mile. Hopefully there is something in the water in Cerritos.
