Redskins Insider has the scoop: Jim Zorn has agreed to relinquish his offensive play-calling responsibilities. Hey, at least he's not getting fired! Right, Redskins fans?
Not Fired Yet: Jim Zorn Gives Up Offensive Play-Calling Duties
The Redskins’ public relations team announced late Sunday night that Vinny Cerrato, the executive vice president of football operations, had met with Coach Jim Zorn after the game Sunday and told him he thought Zorn had too much on his plate. Cerrato said that someone else should call the plays and Zorn did not disagree, according to Zack Bolno, the Redskins’ executive director of communications.
Cerrato and Zorn, who declined to comment when reached at his home Sunday night, will meet Monday to decide who will call the plays.
Most expected Zorn to be flat-out fired, but Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer is reporting that Zorn saved his job by being willing to give up the coordinator’s role. That’s a tricky proposition: Is this really going to improve Zorn’s head-coaching ability all that much? And just who will call the plays now, anyway? Whatever the solution, Zorn can count his lucky stars he wasn’t fired this week, even if the inevitable lies just a few weeks down the road.
