Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

[jsarno]

It's really an incomplete. But since we HAVE to pick, I'll say 3. I've said it many times before, I will wait until I see him in the regular season before I make a serious comment. I would have said a 5 for SPurrier back then, and little did I know he would be an 8 letter word in my household.

Excuse me, I need to go take a Spurrier.

Is the correct pronunciation Zorn-ahm-iter, or Zorn-O-meater?
Mod's, please, a ruling?

The first one is what I had in mind but it's open to interpretation

You have to allow for regional dialects, ethnic background and how well your dental fixative functions.

If you graphed all our responses would it be a Zornograph? And couldn't such an endeavor be called Internet Zornography? I'm so clever.

I was a leary of this hire at first, favoring Saunders as OC and Gregg Williams as head coach. Zorn has done nothing but impress me so far. He seems to have a great relationship with Jason Campbell already. His demeanor, his organizational skills, especially related to the crisper practices, have won praise from the players and are great signs. Clearly, the guy has a plan, and he knows what he's doing out there.

1.5 (.5 being for his first pre-season game) - he's never coached a team before. With every passing game I'll increase my rating, or it will remain 1.5. He has to prove himself first.

i think some of you are misinterpreting the question. it's not how you think zorn is gonna do in the future, it's rank your CURRENT feelings. basicaly, how has he done thus far. i would CURRENTLY give a 5 . i know this could all come to a screaching halt but CURRENTLY i couldn't be more thrilled. the players really seem upbeat, they seem to be taking a liking to the new offense and to his coaching style and even though it was only a preseason game, the team looked pretty good. they were efficiant on offense, stingy on defense and they played smart.

I'm thrilled too. I'm happy, excited, satisfied, and by golly I just feel good about Jim Zorn. However, I'm not totally confident.

I guess the question is somewhat vague. I took it to mean, "Do you have confidence that Jim Zorn is going to succeed?" The next Zornometer must not be so ambiguous!

i'm not trying to start an arguement with you or anything but why just a 1.5. do you not think he's been good thus far, from the day he was hired as head coach till today. have you seen something that you find troubling? something that i might not be seeing.

I just don't think his coaching job is all that hard right now. It won't really get hard until the season starts and then we will see the real coach. So I don't want to give him a 5. Anybody could come in and make things better just because they are different. It's like meeting a new girlfriend/boyfriend.. the rose colored glasses are always on at first, and then later the truth comes out. He's been good so far, normal I'd say. Nothing I wouldn't expect has happened, but nothing I'm going to call home about either. We have a great group of players out there that should be making it rather easy for him in my opinion. You want me to give someone a 5? I give it to our Skins... the players. When things start getting tough during the season is when we'll see if this coach shines or not. I hate giving too much credit to a coah for something I'm not so sure he deserve yet.

Pregame it would have been 2.
Never a head coach.
Never called plays
Very little experience.

After the game he showed he knows how to call plays.
Head coaching is more than a successful preseason game though.
I give him a 3.....he'll have to beat NY or Dallas to get a 4 out of me.
To me....a 5 is a coach who gets you to the playoffs and beyond.

He's still a rookie folks

Wrong!!!

The Correst Answer is 3.

Bye Bye.
