The Redskins Say Goodbye to Jim Zorn.
Thanks for the memories, audibles, laughter, the 6-2, the 6-18, the worst franchise record since the Redskins' 1994 3-13 record...the list goes on and on.
On this day, Jim Zorn has been relieved of his coaching duties with the Washington Redskins.
Zorn, who for weeks and up to the last minute, denied (and didn't want to entertain) any rumors that he would see his last days as head coach for the Burgundy and Gold was told upon his return to DC after the team's 20-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers who played their second string players.
The second string!
Even the New York Giants won over Indianapolis when their coach made the horrid decision to put in their second string players! (To be fair, it wasn't coach Zorn's fault that balls were dropped, passes were over thrown, etc.)
Back to the subject at hand.
Jim Zorn thanks media and players for exciting times.
[My New Year wish. A job were I can perform at mediocre status and get paid millions a year to do so.]
Nonetheless, the Jim Zorn era has ended, and the quest to fill the head coaching position for the Washington Redskins is about to end as well.
In a statement earlier today, general manager Bruce Allen explained:
Who's the next head coach? Will it be Jerry Gray? "Ask John."
Who's next to go? Players weigh in.
What's next for Jim Zorn?
“...I just have to press on, I have to push forward...I truly am having a great experience. It’s not fun, but it is a great experience. There are better days ahead...”
Thank you Jim Zorn. Here's wishing you better days, and good luck as you press on.

What I find interesting.
I find it interesting that Vinny Cerrato's picture was still in the December 27th Redskins-Cowboys Gameday program even after Cerrato was fired on the 17th. At first I thought maybe they didn't have time to remove it before the program was printed, but then I saw Graham Gano's picture listed in the program with the rest of the Redskins roster. (Gano was hired on December 8th.)
Hopefully they won't make the mistake of listing Zorn as head coach in any future printed materials.

"The status quo is not acceptable," Allen said. "I felt it was necessary to not waste a moment of time building this team into a winner."It will be an interesting January at Redskins Park in the quest to revamp, reorganize, and revitalize, the tore-up-from-the-floor-up Redskins organization.
