With all due respect to the threads author, NOBODY outside of Snyder's inner circle REALLY knows the chain of events were, or what motivated them. All the rest is pure speculation as is evidenced from all the relible info and conjecture for the past month. TO my knowldge , none of the established pundits called for Zorn to be the HC.
DS doesn't generally get a fair shake in his Skins decisions, and that may well be the case here.
I for one applaud his efforts, and REFUSAL to bow to media and fan pressure to make a possibly premature decision, to be regretted later.

That is mostly true but VC was on the radio for 15 minutes talking about the process and a lot of the speculation was pretty right on. JZ was not on the list of HC candidates until after the Spags interview. It sounds as if they were very impressed with him and after the other interviews were done, they decided to re-interview him for the HC position. To hear Vinny and Dan tell the story, after whatever happened with Spags (either they didn't offer the job, or he didn't take it, no one but those guys knows), they called up JZ and asked him if he'd like to interview for the job.

It was actually a very interesting discussion with Vinny and it was refreshing to hear from the FO about the process. However, make no mistake about it, JZ wasn't a HC candidate until after he joined to team as the OC and after the Spags interview.
