D.C. Examiner: Zorn's job in jeopardy? (not so fast he's coming back)

I know I'm going through a lot of names these days but I would welcome Mooch to this team with open arms. Either way I'm going to support the Falcons and Ravens for the remainder of the season, and as much as I would love to say "I don't support the Redskins anymore" well quite frankly I don't think I have the heart to pull off such a feat.

Mooch? Shoot, might as well try to get Gibbs back. Mooch is washed up man. His stint here in Detroit did him in for good I think. No more guys from the West Coast!!!!

Everyone screws up in Detroit. I mean what can you expect they had their own version of Vinny Cerrato (in fact a worst version), no QB, no RB, no defense. It's a wonder Mooch lasted as look as he did.

Detroit is the graveyard of coaches til the Fords sell out!!!!!

On Monday Night Countdown, Chris Mortensen just said Jim Zorn's job was safe. I don't know how solid that is, but Mort seemed pretty confident about it.

To me, Snyder seems like the kind of guy who makes impulsive decisions, and once he's made those decisions there's not much that will change his mind. The Bengal game probably did Zorn in.

I definitely don't think Zorn is gone.

Wash Post columnist Mike Wise goes as far as issuing a guarantee that Zorn's job is safe:

There might be a few doomsayers who will point out Marty Schottenheimer was 8-8 in his one and only season before Daniel Snyder jettisoned the my-way-or-else coach; Zorn is more pliable and likable, much cheaper and -- this is a guarantee -- isn't going anywhere after this season.

I told Mort to say that Seriously though, Zorn has probably increased his chances significantly the last two weeks of staying, mainly through his humility. And I certainly hope he stays.

Snyder is actually not at all impulsive, not anymore at least. He really deliberates

If true, that would certainly be a departure from his pattern. Not just as an owner, but successful businessmen as well. More often than not, big shot business owners don't spend a whole lot of time sucking their thumbs contemplating. He's a businessman first, and I still believe his nature is to use his instincts to make snap judgements at a quicker pace.

Making decisions about a football team is different of course. So if he's truly changed in that regard, we'll just have to see.

As we saw with the coach search to replace Gibbs.

Everything changed after he spent five minutes to hire Spurrier and it completely blew up in his face. Ever since then he's been very deliberate and methodical with just about everything.

Point taken, and his rock-solid faith in Vinny Cerrato year after year further confirms that.

In which case he becomes reclassified as indecisive.
