If Shanahan is hired in any capacity, Zorn had better be fired immediately. There's simply no justification for stringing him along any more. I know Snyder needs to do whats best for the franchise long term, but there's got to be some decency displayed here. I'll be disgusted if Shanahan is hired as Team President and Zorn stays on to coach 3 games, then is fired and Shanahan becomes the head coach.

Someone mentioned in the other thread about the possibility of him being named President or something now.. and head coach later. I know that if we hire him in any capacity right now it's nothing but inevitable that he'll get the HC title eventually though.
