They originally hired Zorn as offensive coordinator, a job he had never held, and then turned around and made him head coach. This organization needs to settle down and develop an operational plan and stick to it. Change is not always good.

It tells me we have dysfunctional fans.

I think it's fans guessing what the organization will do. If JZ doesn't make the playoffs I think that he'll be fired. Doesn't mean i agree or disagree about it. I'm all for a plan and sticking to it.

Just to be clear, there have been no press releases or leaks by Snyder intimates saying that this is Zorn's last chance. It is not the organization that is dysfunctional, it is us fans who want it all plus whatever else we can get.

Like any employee I am sure Zorn's job performance will, and should, be critiqued, but any speculation on the web like this is simply us fans ranting on about our thoughts and beliefs. Do I think if Zorn stinks up the joint he will be fired - Certainly, but the only examples of DS just randomly firing someone was Marty (some use Norv, but he was not a DS hire and had lots of reasons for being fired). And we all know Marty was fired cuz he wanted more say in personnel and FO stuff. JZ is not going to be asking for that anytime soon, but all the other names you hear bandied about have sought that.

Yeah I think we need to make the distinction that it's the fans chattering about a potential coaching change. It's not coming from the organization.

Ok, I guess I could have said ditto to 53Fan and Matty, but I started typing, and then work got in the way of me finishing, so I didn't know I was just duplicating...

I agree with Matty and 53Fan

But you explained it so well.

Zorn should just focus on coaching this team, the rest will take care of itself.

That's what it comes down to, and I suspect that's what Zorn is doing. If the team does well, we'll have a solid HC and QB for a long time. Great sig SFREDSKIN.

Build on last season. Offense has to score more points. Red Zone Offense improves.

I' don't agree with this but the only way Zorn will remain as Head Coach is if he wins the NFC EAST, goes 12 and 4, or goes to the Super Bowl. Too many big name coaches out there for next year and Mr. Snyder and Jerry Jones will have a bidding war for the next coach.....no doubt DS and VC saw this as a big possibility when they hired Zorn, of course hoping Zorn would somehow get the SKins to the

Jason Campbell and the offense must show significant progress. If they don't, I would anticipate another season out of the playoffs, with The Danny looking for a new coach.

1) Zorn keeps his gig
HOWEVER, to be successful, he needs to:
Win 10 games.............2 of which will be stompin' the goffin shit outta' dallas=good season
