But the only good thing about keeping Zorn throughout the year is that the players now have a sense of stability in the locker room and on the sideline. They do not have to keep dodging media questions related to the coach. They can concentrate better on football, so good move on Ceratto in that regard.

Now I feel this annoucement is completely politically and financially motivated. Politically, for the reason I just mentioned, for the benefit of the players.

Financially because after they stripped Zorn of his play calling, they fully expected him to resign. Thereby they would not have to pay him for the remainder of this contract year, or, a settlement. A coach quits, they owe him nothing.

But Zorn did not quit so if they fire him, they have to pay him. And then pay a new head coach too, almost doubling that salary expense.

So they instead decide to stick with him for the year. It is not a BAD call at all. History has shown that mid season coaching changes are disasterous.

But for Ceratto to say that Zorn will be the coach for the remainder of the year, and hopefully into the future, well, he is insulting our intelligence.

Who here would actually be in FAVOR of Zorn returning next season? How much would attendence take a hit if Zorn remained? C'Mon, no one is that stupid.

But to take a stab by saying "keeping Wade in charge". Well people in glass houses should not throw stones.

Ya know I find myself liking you more and more even though I'm not a Dallas fan. Excellent points. Besides the topic was not about Wade who most likely will be gone also, it was about Zorn being retained.
