Your thoughts "IF" Shanahan were to replace Zorn in 2010

Of course, i will root for the skins no matter whos coach... well, that is unless Danny decides to make himself Owner/GM/HC. I don't think I could handle that. Anyway, Shanahans been discussed, as have Cowher, Gruden, and Holmgren. Unless Zorn wins multiple playoff games, I honestly doubt Snyder will be able to resist the urge to pursue atleast one of those guys. So, with that in mind, i guess i might as well get used to the idea. With that in mind, here are my choices for HC in 2010, ranked in order from most desireable to least desireable.

1. Jim Zorn

Where's the rest of your list? Considering you thought Zorn was a poor hire and couldn't wait for next off-season there must be a longer list, no?

Zorn inherited a team with a very strong running game from Joe Gibbs. We started 6-2 because we adhered to that running game. As the season went on, teams began to adjust to Zorn. How did Zorn adjust back? According to Clinton Portis, he tried to start changing things with the running game - the one thing that was working right! - and we went 2-6 in the 2nd half of the season.

We will not get better unless Zorn changes dramatically for the better in his 2nd year. Thus far, the only changes he has instituted have hurt the team, not helped it. If Zorn keeps his staff and continues to do what Zorn wants to do (and not what has been proven to work), I fully expect us to be a 6-10 team at best next year.

Zorn was a very poor hire by Vinny. He was - by far - the dumbest of all the new rookie coaching hires made in the last offseason. it looked that way at the time and it has been confirmed by what we've seen miami, Baltimore, and Atlanta do this year. Vinny sealed his fate with the Zorn hire and the 2009-2010 offseason can't come soon enough.

So I guess the lesson is not to flip flop on SmootSmack's watch.. You sure you're not wasting your talents at The Worldwide Leader rather than being a fact checker for politicians?

We all change our mind on occasion about things, just been wondering how someone would change their mind over the course of three months where nothing has really happened.

I have no problem changing my opinion when i've been proved wrong. I know most of you won't beleive it, but I'd like nothing more (when it comes to the Redskins) than for Campbell to prove me wrong.
