3. Is Zorn > Saunders? Not now, Zorn is not proven as an OC.

On paper it does not seem that we have improved our coaching ranks. Having said that, there are no head coaches out there that compare favorably with Gibbs, closets is Coward {sp}. Hence, once Gibbs retired, there was going to be a drop off in that position no matter what.

However, there didn't have to be a drop off in the other 2 critical coaching positions.

my 2 cents

Well, it's not like we had any choice in the matter of having to hire a new head coach seeing as how Joe Gibbs retired. However, by your logic, is/was Williams > Gibbs? Nope.
Blache > Williams? Probably not, but Blache does get part of the credit for turning the defense around.
Zorn > Saunders? Looking at Saunders' total body of work, no at this point. Of course, we don't know what Zorn can do for us at the OC position, but we DO know what he can do for quarterbacks. Comparing them by just judging Saunders on what he's done in Washington, there wouldn't be much to improve on, so that's why the Zorn move was a good one.
