Dead Man Walking: Zorn Surrenders Play-Calling

To the consultant hired only two weeks ago from his drive to the Bingo hall...

Washington Redskins coach Zorn announced Monday that the front office "strongly suggested" that he yield his play-calling duties to a consultant hired only two weeks ago. While he didn't say he was given an ultimatum, Zorn said he would comply with the request "because I want to stay here and win."

"Sometimes we have to do things that are uncomfortable," Zorn said.

Yeah, like coach under Daniel Snyder...

Zorn received the news in a meeting with front office chief Vinny Cerrato.

Receiver Antwaan Randle El called the move to Lewis "a little weird."

"Some guys weren't even kind of sure who he was," Randle El said. "But that's just because they didn't get around and try to talk to him. But again it just kind of goes back to shaking things up."

Here's the Zorn presser at the Park...

Those of us at OSG HQ feel for the guy. We always enjoyed his work as a QB in Seattle, and his offensive play-calling worked as a coordinator.

But, then, you become coach after only two weeks as the OC and you now see how difficult it is to work for and with Snyder and Cerrato... It's only a matter of time before Zorn is let go- and he gets to reclaim his life and successes off the field.

Somewhere else...
