Sneyder is such a Cowboy wannabe.

Is it just me, or does he come across as having just "average" intelligence. He's stumbling over his words constantly, and he jumping from one subject to the next with no reference or relevance to his hire. Seems weird.

Interesting point of view.

Zorn and Garrett both retired at the age of 34. Yet Garrett is only 41.

Let's review what each was doing during their playing days.

Jim Zorn - 106 starts over an 11 year career
Jason Garrett -- 9 starts over an 11 year career

Gee, who is going to progress through the ranks faster. The guy who held the clipboard his entire career or the guy who was on the field?

I hope all the Commanders are terrified of Zorn, or that none become friends with him, otherwise it will never work out, huh?

Point taken, abersonc, but isn't it peculiar that Zorn, if he's such a good coach, has flown under the radar for so long? Coaches usually aren't that much of an unknown commodity and he obviously hasn't been protected by Seattle (w/ them naming Mora Jr as successor) so they must not have valued him too much. Hey, you never know, one team's trash could be a treasure for the next!

LOL.

Heard part of Zorn's press conference.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Hhahahahah. The guy is so not ready for prime time.

He is supposed to be a leader of men? He couldn't inspire confidence in anyone. No one will he be able to get control over that team. He is so timid and obviously inexperienced.

Coaching a 3 man QB roster--and QBs tend to be the most coach friendly players--is vastly different than what this guy is going to have to do.

If you were going to base how good he is only on his press conference, I would bet he won't be their coach next year.

Has any coach been fired before the first game before?

What does that have to do with coaching ability?

 

[Big Dakota]

If I'm a skins fan, I'd much prefer that Zorn had a couple years as OC under his belt. I watched the PC as well and came away unimpressed.

Because logic dictates that starting in the league translates into being a better coach? Umm...ok.

Unless Zorn pulls off a miracle, he will be a single year hire. That is all.

If you want to amuse yourself before going into work tomorrow, take a brief scan of the ES website on this PC . . . .

I'm going to take the Ivy League school grad, hands down. much smarter

I always hear Skins fans talking about the Burgandy and Gold. How cool is it that their new head coach calls the colors "maroon, black, and yellow?"

WOW:bang2: Not good.

WOW:bang2: Not good.

One guy at ES always has a sig line "I bleed maroon, black, and yellow."

Are you serious! :laugh2: The man does not even know the team colors?

Yeah, he's gonna work out JUST FINE, thank you!!

I wonder if he's shined Lil Danny's shoes yet?

I'm on that thread right now. Most are supporting him, but man that's a HUGE gaffe. They are trying to explain it away by saying the jerseys his fam had on were black Jeez, the guy's been around the NFL for 30 years and he doesn't know B&G??? Not a bright start IMHO.

You'd have a point, except:

• Presumably Zorn was learning a little something during the first 7.5 years, when he was starting.
• Zorn held a clipboard for the last 3.5 years of his career
• Zorn held a clipboard as a coach for 6 years before Garrett even entered the league
• Garrett's career was 8 years, not 11

So, all told, Zorn started for 7.5 years, and held a clipboard as a backup or assistant coach for 9.5 years before Garrett even entered the league. He had a big head start on Garrett.

If he wasn't ready to "progress through the ranks" by then, I see that as a problem.

The fact is, the guy is a career position coach who is only 6 years younger than Tom Coughlin.

All great points!!

This is just further proof of how completely and utterly idiotic the Commanders fanbase is

The only reason this is a good hire in their eyes is because they made it. If Dallas had hired a nobody from nowhere like Zorn, Washington fans would devote an entire month of the offseason to laughing it up and telling everyone what a dumbarse hire it was.

They see everything through burgandy and gold glasses. You'd think by now, after a decade of incompetance and idiocy, that they would see through Danny Boy's hires/signings as nothing more than desperate attempts to keep his investment afloat, and yet every season, without fail, Washington is destined to be the best team in football "next year". There hasnt been a season since he got here Skisn fans werent predicting 13-3 seasons.

Oh well. It's fun to watch you morons constantly get knocked off your high horse so abruptly

Preach on preacher, I'm listening....:clap2: You're dead on point...
