Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

Giving a guy who hasn't coached a real game a confidence below or above 3 seems retarded. What do you base your confidence on? Gut feeling? A pre-season game? Confidence is earned and built over time not given cost free.

The poll is on CURRENT confidence, for what it's worth. I'll give him a retarded 4.

What are you basing your 3 on? Surely 3 would be a fair assessment for someone with nothing to judge on but credentials from a previous job, not his current one?

The 4 I'm giving is based on how he's handled Training Camp, interviews, media, and the 'meaningless' pre-season game. Did you notice how amped up the Vets were after the pick in the final few minutes of the 'meaningless' game? Would that have happened last season? He deserves a 4.

Given this:

"Rank your current confidence level in Zorn with 5 being total confidence and 1 being none."


It seems to me that 3 would be the natural choice seeing he hasn't done squat-diddly for me to give him positive or negative confidence rating. Also, pre-season doesn't build confidence...not when you subscribe to sadenism anyways.

As I said, what I've seen so far I like. But then I'm no Sadenist.

Given your position vis a vis pre-season you shouldn't have answered the Poll until after the first regular season game, right?

I subscribe to Rattist Zen. Costs me $10 a month.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

From every report I've read and from every player statement I've heard, Zorn has this team buying into his game. He has taken a play-off level team and, from all appearances, at least kept them at the same level. The O-Line is healthy, Zorn has kept continuity in the run-game and is implementing his passing game which, basd on one preseason game, appears to be a workable scheme with the players on hand.

He has been forthright with the fans and the players.

I give him a retarded 4.

5. He's done nothing so far to change my giving him the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned, he's Lombardi until he proves otherwise.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

4 - He appears to be a thorough, detail guy with a realistic approach to football. We shall all see how that translates to Win/ Loss column...

4 - So far, so good. The team looks organized and functioning well. I have reserved optimism.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

Gotta' give JZ a 5.
Based on my "current" level of observation, he is doing everything right, AND generating excitement and respect among the players-this is BIG.
I would prefer to grade him on what he has done thus far, or currently, rather than what "may" happen later on.

That's what I had in mind with this poll, let's judge what he's done to date and forget about what the future holds.

I gave him a 4. If he's the 2nd coming of Spurrier I'd be absolutely shocked. He's a guy that seems well organized and was ready for this challenge, almost as if he's been preparing for this his entire life. He's calm, cool, and collected and seems to have a good football mind and he's not afraid to think outside the box as evidenced by his quirky yet effective drills in practice. He's also very likable, but he seems to know when to bring the hammer down.

Re: Mattyk72 presents: The Warpath Zornometer Poll™

5 All I have right now to judge him by is what is coming out of camp and what they did last Sunday. For a team in a new system and only a couple of weeks into training camp they looked really well coached. Thats even including the scrubs who looked better coached then the scrubs for the Colts. You should start this poll after each preseason game to see how the results change.
