Jim Zorn to give up playcalling

"The Jim Zorn watch began immediately after the Redskins' loss to the Chiefs. But it appears he has done enough to save his job, for now.

 

Sources told FOXSports.com that following Sunday's game, Zorn met with Redskins vice president Vinny Cerrato, who basically told him that the head coach had too much on his plate and that he wanted him to succeed as head coach. They agreed that Zorn would relinquish playcalling duties.

The two will meet again Monday morning to discuss who that role who be transferred to.

 

The move comes amid heavy criticism of the beleaguered Zorn all season long, which had grown each week as the Redskins lost four of their first six games against the NFL's weakest schedule. Zorn's offense has not scored more than 17 points in any game this season. In Sunday's loss, Washington earned only seven first downs and failed to score a touchdown.

 

Last week, former NFL asistant coach Sherm Lewis was hired by the Redskins in a consultant role with the underachieving team. Since starting 6-2 in 2008, the Redskins have lost 10 of their last 14 games."

As usual, lmao @ Snyder. Couldn't happen to a nicer putz.

 

I think Zorn's incompetence is overblown - check his personnel. Most of his quality players (and there aren't many) are on the downside of their careers, he has no QB worth squat (and keep in mind he knew it as he tried for Cutler) etc.

i did not think we was actually calling PLAYS

 

not by skins offensive performance to date

 

Figured he just let Campbell draw up plays on the grass in the huddle using his fingers ( ala playground football )

 

Cambell: "Portis, your the ball of chew. Moss, your the broken tooth from Griffin. Randell El, your the pigeon poop here. On 3, each of you run in all directions towards our own end zone. That'll stymie em!!! Break!"

I think Snyder's trying to get Zorn to quit or make a termination agreement so he doesn't have to pay him the full contract. Otherwise, it makes no sense to take away his playcalling and still call him a head coach. There's no way the players are going to respect a coach that who's boss has done this to him. All they know now is that they won't have to answer to Zorn for much longer.

 

Needless to say, I love it. :wacko:

I don't understand why he didn't get Cutler or Braylon or Anquan or Marshall

 

I mean Den got whatever they got for Cutler from Chi but couldn't Wash have gone one-up and over paid? if Chi gave 4 picks why couldn't Was given 5 picks?

 

why would the skins overpay for a Defensive star like Hainsworth when they needed O-line and WR and QB help? I mean they don't score 20 points in a game so having Hainsworth is not going to change that.
