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

If the Redskins make the playoffs next year, Jim Zorn should stay. Period. I think he should be given more than just this season regardless, but I don't think he will if they regress and have a losing season.

I would say that 10-12 wins sounds about right for this team this season with a win or two in the playoffs. I have very high hopes for this group and I think there's a very good chance that they could tear it up this year, vaulting Zorn and Campbell onto the national stage and making it impossible for Dan Snyder to get rid of them.

You're predicting from eleven to fourteen total wins for this team? Come on, man! I'm as much a Redskins fan as anyone, but even I think you've gone WAY overboard. Did we move to the AFC West while I was on vacation? I'd be very happy if we just back into the playoffs at 9-7.

I do not think that 10 regular season wins, with a playoff win added, is too far from real possibility. Leaving reason aside, my hopes are for even more - especially if it includes a sweep of Dallas!

How sweet would a late season sweep of Dallas be. Of course Dallas fans would be saying it was WP's fault, not that the Skins whooped 'em. (Yeah, I am picturing the party already

I will be happy if we get into the playoffs by backing in, but I expect to be very happy and see us winning the Division.

Yeah, I don't think it's out of the question that an 8-8 team who got better in the offseason could get to 10 wins and then go on to win a game or two in the playoffs. It's the second year under Zorn, JC's second year in the system and Thomas and Kelly will be better. I'm convinced this offense can get to 21-25 ppg relatively frequently which would result in a whole lot of W's.

As long as the real team was the one that went 6-2 to start the season and not the one that closed out 2-6.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I prefer to think that the Skins, when healthy, were more like the 6-2 team, rather than the 2-6 team. I believe in this team for one of the first times in a while. I have a really good feeling about this season.
