Now THAT I did not expect HOWEVER I figured it would be somewhat of a surprise after Snyder did not introduce Fassel yesterday.

I am just glad it is over.

It's going to be tough competing in the NFC East w/ all those big name coaches. I hope he can get 2 wins against Dallas every year.

I have liked Zorn as a quarterback and remember watching him during the Seahawks first season (1976). I always thought he would transition into coaching when he retired. Compared to what there was left I am happy with Zorn.

Now does anyone believe Snyder will let him fulfill his 5 year contract or do you think that if he goes 6-10 and Cowher decides to coach again that ole Bill will the next coach of the Redskins?

Anybody know if they are going to hire an Offensive Coordinator or will Jim Zorn handle both?

I'm shocked. Don't know a lot about Zorn, but look at the NFC East coaching experience. Glad it's over, but looks like it'll be a long season next year. Going for the number 1 draft pick.

Campbell showed signs that he could be a good QB and that he is really good at the deep pass. His weaknesses have been the short game and timing routes. So now we are going to run the West Coast offense? I guess we will be getting another QB after all.
