What must Jim Zorn accomplish this season to keep his job?

Fair enough. I think Norv can be a good head coach with all the pieces are around him. Is he a leader of men/motivator/disiplinarian/ass kicker? No.

Guess that means Barry Switzer was a good coach using that criteria.

A lot of guys can be good coaches when all the pieces are in place. That's really not saying much for the coach's abilities.

With all that talent the Chargers are just 19-13 the last 2 years under Norv.

Norv has not been very good in San Diego imo but he is a better coach then most Redskin fans give credit for.

Looking back id love to see what Norv would of done if he wasnt canned in 2000 with a 7-6 record here in Washington. I think if things went different in 2000 and Snyder didnt stick his nose into the QB position we could have had a different outlook for the future. The Skins were 11-7 and 7-6 in Turners last 2 seasons in DC. I honestly think the Skins would of had a shot for a Championship over the next couple years if things panned out different.

I think Norv would be looked on as a better coach if it wasnt for one injury that cost the Redskins. That was when Brad Johnson hurt his knee on MNF vs the Tennessee Titans in 2000. He missed 3 games and when he came back he was rusty. After the Giants game where he was benched for George all hell broke lose. Snyder canned Turner because he wanted to start Brad Johnson the next game and I really believe if Turner wouldnt of been canned we might of won a Super Bowl instead of the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2002-03.

Those Redskin teams in 1999 and 2000 werent great but Norv got the most out of those teams and did one hell of a coaching job imo.

Although firing Turner w/ a 7-6 record was stupid as hell, I don't think the season would've finished much different and it was time for a change.

What would you rather have.

A 13-3 season and not advance in the playoffs....like the 07 Cowboys? Or the 06 Chargers?

Or a 19-13 team that have advanced two years in a row. One year they're QB was playing on one leg and their best player was hurt, the next year they played w/out their best defensive player.

I'll take the team that advances every time. As I said, Norv has been solid in SD and his side of the ball has flourished.

I beleive if Zorn can guide this team to the 2nd round of the playoffs or possibly deeper, he would be able to hold off the big boys from comin in. I also deeply belive that Bringing Holmgren in to be GM is an absolute must. Something like that will keep us steady for years to come. That's what we've been missing sine Danny Boy got the team. Oh yeah, that and Super Bowl titles.

This would be an interesting combination. As long as Holmgren can get the players needed for the system and only interject once and a while or when asked then we would have an aswome team.

Although I have been against Vinny for yrs I think this yr has been his best but time will tell.
