Predict the Redskins record for the rest of the season

According to various reports, Snyder began looking for a new coach after that loss to the Lions. Zorn essentially had been fired for weeks before the announcement was made.

That said, the talk of Shanny's ouster is premature.

Snyder indeed started looking for a new coach, but the actual pink slip didn't come until later in the season. So expecting Shanahan to see the pink slip right after the game is outright lunacy.

Snyder wanted Shanahan to take over that year reportedly

I'm already quite aware Zorn not being fired that day DOES NOT mean that Snyder still wanted to keep him. I'm not that dense at judging someone's (non)-actions. But I didn't say Snyder did not want to replace Zorn. I did not say that Snyder did not want to get rid of him for Shanahan after many a drink. I ONLY said he didn't fire him right after the Lions game. But that is not enough, I must accept that Daniel Snyder did fire Zorn after the Lions game. He was no longer on the sidelines from week 5 onwards and thusly, already packed his bags and went home. Q.E.D
