i would guess that zorn is fired tomorrow... i think that they (snyder, allen, et al) are trying to get the sour taste of the season out of the fans' mouths at this point, with the goal, among others, to get fans out to these last two home games... cerrato retires this week and the euphoria takes people to the stadium for the big monday nighter... now, after getting murdered on national tv, firing zorn, making someone like sherm smith and jerry gray the interim head coach, and announcing shannahan or whomever as the new head coach next season brings a little more hope/goodwill to get folks out to the cowboys game... the point is not losing fan-generated revenue from those games from poor attendance...

also, firing zorn tomorrow gives you a head start on getting the new coach hired before the end of the season and avoiding a possible bidding war... you can't hire a HC without firing the old one.... technically...
