James Brown: Redskins VP Vinny Cerrato said he gave head coach Jim Zorn a roster worthy of making the playoffs. If that’s true, the real problem in Washington is: A) the owner; B) the head coach; C) the [...]

On the “The Waddle and Silvy Show,” Holmgren was asked by the Chicago radio hosts, Tom Waddle and Marc Silverman, what [...]

So, you thought Jim Zorn’s job was guaranteed for the season after Vinny Cerrato said Zorn’s job was guaranteed for the rest of the season? Silly you! Peter King gets out the truth:
Even though Redskins football czarVinny Cerratosaid Friday that Jim Zorn won’t be fired this year, I’m skeptical. I said to Cerrato Sunday, “What [...]

Jim Zorn began his press conference by lavishing praise upon the defense, the defensive line and MLB London Fletcher, saying he loved their production, their pass rush, their tackling and their efficiency. It almost seemed as if he wanted to point out that he appreciated the part of the team that actually is working right. [...]

Report: Sherman Lewis will call plays

October 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Coach, Coaching change, Dan Snyder, Jim Zorn, Vinny Cerrato, Washington Redskins
ProFootballTalk suggests that Vinny Cerrato will not long survive the end of the Jim Zorn era.

organization that the fates of coach Jim Zorn and V.P. of football
operations Vinny Cerrato are tied together.
So if/when Zorn
goes, Cerrato could be dumped, too. (There’s a chance Zorn would go
after the [...]

Zorn gave up more than play-calling
October 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Coach, Dan Snyder, Jim Zorn, Washington Redskins
So, the word is Jim Zorn saved his job by agreeing to Dan Snyder’s demand that he give up play-calling to a coach [consultant/bingo caller] to be named later. This isn’t just more of the standard Redskins soap opera, this is almost sad. When Zorn became head coach it was agreed he would call the [...]

October 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Coach, Dan Snyder, Jim Zorn, Washington Redskins
Adam Shefter of ESPN notes how the Eagles have rebuilt their offense on the fly, still scoring points in bunches, but now doing it with a young team that includes Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy [both 21], Desean Jackson [22] and Brent Celeck [24]. The Redskins, meanwhile, have one of the oldest teams in the [...]
