The thing about antagonizing is that it makes the one doing the antogonizing look bad and in the long run that isnt good. JZ's not rolling over like a dog, he's playing the game and trying to be the team player while making VC & DS look more like the idiots they are.

Getting the money is good and a no brainer but you do have to factor this in...your professional credibility.

If he proves to have no regard for his own authority as an NFL head coach that is going to affect his authority in future positions. The NFL is run by leaders, compromising in this fashion is pretty much telling everyone in the league that you are a push over when it comes to your command.


He better enjoy the money he receives here because I don't envision his head coaching or offensive coordinating career continuing in the long run.

I think the only credibility question was when he accepted the job here. And no one can blame a quarterback coach for taking a head job.

Nothing Zorn has done will hurt his credibilty as a professional. This organization is a joke and no one will fault Zorn for ensuring his paycheck on the way out the door.

Plus this is by far the biggest paycheck that he has seen or probably will ever see. He is playing this hand perfectly.

I'm going to disagree with you on that one. There's something about failing here, in Washington, that to a certain extent gives you cover for your next gig.

I'll bet that another team will snap Zorn up after this mess and he'll move on with his life in the NFL. I don't think he'll ever be head coach material, but I do think there's room for his talent at the NFL level. He'll be fine.

He's not commanding an army, he's a head coach and that's way more about understanding and dealing with everyone in the organization from players to mgmt to the receptionist that it is about dolling out orders and playing the pseudo hard a$$. There is an interesting piece in this week's Sports Illustrated about drill sgt coaches.

Everyone in the league knows what the Skins organization is like and I dont think his credibility will be hurt at all. The best way to hurt his credibility is to be an antogonistic jerk. That would kill his future prospects more than anything. Because one compromises does not mean he's a pushover, it means he knows how to play the game and work with people.
