Jim Zorn has done a quality job as a headcoach. He went 8-8 during his rookie season in the toughest division in football, the NFC East. He was 6-2 at the halfway point and the team struggled a bit during the second half of 08'. After a promising rookie season what did the Redskins do?
They explored replacing their headcoach and starting QB throughout the entire offseason. As I have said in the past, Washington's owner simply wants players and coaches with big name recognition. Synder has no idea what he is doing. On the first day of free agency the Redskins gave Albert Hanesworth an absurd contract. I expressed my feelings about how mismanaged the Redskins organization is in my previous post.
Zorn and the entire Redskins organization suffered a black eye last week by losing to the Detroit Lions. Thats a tough one, no question. That being said, Zorn and Co. have earned the right to try and make it work. It's not the coaches fault that the owner, who's trying to imitate a GM like a 13 year old playing the Madden video game, doesn't understand that teams don't develop chemistry by just throwing together random FA's.
Obviously you can't fire the owner. The fans need to demand that Synder hire an experienced GM to help this team get back on track and stop hemorrhaging money because of absurd contracts. Just because you are a fan with a lot of cash that doesn't qualify you to run an NFL team. Snyder will allow Zorn to continue as a lame duck coach, and unless he wins the Superbowl he will be out on his ear and Snyder will give one of the elite unemployed coaches on the market a RIDICULOUS deal.
I hope he fires Zorn and no coach will want to touch that job. If the fans want to have an impact, just stay home. An empty stadium sends a much larger message than crying and complaining on talk radio.
