Gibbs was great. Maybe my exspections are to high..

You wouldn't be a Redskins fan if you didn't have high expectations for this team. But, consider this to ease your mind; Joe Gibbs has put his seal of approval on Jim Zorn. To me, Jim Zorn is just like Joe Gibbs. Zorn is the type of coach who pays close attention to detail, even tempered, and is a great teacher.

In regards to the comparison of the WCO and Spurrier's offense. There is no comparison. The only comparison you can make is that both passed to set up the run. And in Spurrier's offense, the running game was next to nothing. In the west coast offense, the running back plays an extremely important role, even though the offense is designed to pass first. The WCO is a very balanced attack, unlike SS's offense.

As far as the poll goes, I wish there was an option for "mixed feelings" because that's exactly the way I would answer.

It's how I feel too. I was very excited about bringing him on as our offensive coordinator. And I think he can be a strong head coach, but I believe he and the team could have benefitted from having someone else as the head coach (someone with experience) instead of being thrown into the fire. My fear is that he'll be a great coach...but for another team.

Anyhow, I decided that if in this past month so many people here were already able to definitively declare next season over because of coaches we were or were not considering that we could have a definitive poll like this

Thats for everyone here in the "Pass happy Z-Man camp." Plus the favorite canidate for an OC post right now is a former RB. In my opinion that seems like a great balance right ther.

Plus on a side note I think that the reason so many QB coaches have gone on to be succesful HC's is because anyone working from the QB position has to understand multiple facets of the game from WR routes, timing on running plays, protection schemes, audibles, and most importatnly how defenses try to stop an offense. Being a former QB Jim Zorn understands these aspects, and personally I think it'll go a long ways towards making him a succesful HC.
