Re: Predict when Zorn will be fired!

Native Americans are/have been seriously calling for the Redskins to change their nickname, I think "Redskins Fireing" would be a perfectly suited nickname since "Fireing" is a word so closely associated with this team. Fireing just seems to make everybody so happy, what better way to reward the team.

What does "Fireing" mean? Do you mean "Firing"?

Re: Predict when Zorn will be fired!

Probably at the end of the season, but I wouldn't be shocked at a bye week firing if we're below .500. I REALLY hope Snyder brings someone in to evaluate what we're doing on the football side of things and takes their advice. Dungy (who is not coming back to day to day operations of an NFL team) said it perfectly last night, it's not just the coach, it's the culture. Both need to be changed.

No worries, I thought I was missing something myself.

I hope Blache gets fired this morning. Then I hope Zorn relinquishes some of his jobs like playcalling and coaching the quarterbacks. Changes need to made immediate. Zorn will no doubt get fired in the offseason. Come on Shanahan with Holmgren in the front office as president.

What's funny to me it's that in week 1 I wrote in my column that the end of Zorn Era was starting and he was going to be let go and everyone here came at me like I was insane and just another cowboys bias fan... and 3 weeks later everyone it's on the same boat.

Re: Predict when Zorn will be fired!

I have to agree with Schneed and Matty - I don't see anyone getting fired during the season. Firing Zorn before seasons end will only make Cerrato and Synder look even worse. If you fire the coaches now you have basically given up on the season in week 3. If I am not mistaken weren't the Giants (or maybe it was the Giants fans) that were all ready to fire their coach (and if not for a win againt our Redskins when they were down at halftime many were speculating that they were going to fire Tom) a few years back? A lot of us are complaining that the constant turnover is the main reason for the instability of the Skins - so lets just let the season play out and make the decision in the offseason. Heck if Zorn is so over his head and we turn out to be a 5-11 or 4-12 team we will all be better off for it because a record like that will be very indictive of Cerrato and may cause a true turnover to a new GM which many of us are indeed hoping for.

Sounds like a true voice of reason. When we blow-out the Bucks Sunday everything will be back to normal.

This offense is not all of a sudden going to start putting up a ton of points. We will be lucky to to go 3 and 5 the first half of the season. Don't be surprised when DS pulls the plug on Zorn during the bye week!!!!!

2 points.

#1...I don't buy that given up on the season crap...if a team is underperforming under 1 coach, they can do equally as crappy under another.

#2 Bad example, Tom Coughlin has 14 years as an NFL head coach...Zorn has 1 and was never a head coach of any kind. A head coach with that sort of experience is usually given a much longer leash...except in the case of Marty.

Outside of a good start when no one had film on his tendancies, Zorn has coached his team to be progressively worse week by week, losing or struggling to some of the crappiest teams in the NFL along the way.
It is not always the final score...it is the product on the field and the fire.
Interestingly....you guys that dog Gibbs forget that this is essentially the same team....(perhaps even more talented) that fought their guts off to make the playoffs 2 of 3 seasons before Zorn took over.

That mirage' of success was one of the reasons Snyder felt he could take a chance on a rookie HC.

I agree that we'd essentially have to go winless until the bye to see a midseason firing....after all ....Snyder knows to attract a top coach....he needs to act with some degree of patience.
