Tony Dungy wouldn't interview unless he knew he was guaranteed the job. I don't think he wants to coach again. Why would any coach leave Peyton Manning unless they were really fed up with coaching?

Thank you.

Snyder made the right business move. Whether it will translate in more wins for the Skins--time will tell. But by forcing Cerrato's exit--which is what this midseason "resignation" is--he has already got a PR win and can shift the pressure and responsibility to Allen (starting with whether to retain Zorn).

This of course, was BEFORE Jason's game took off in the last 6 weeks. JC earned his future with the team I think.

Well Chucky likes veteran QBs, and as someone mentioned this morning on 980, Campbell is a veteran.

No Zorn in the Coach list.

What would he call Zorn a great for? Doesn't have nearly the track record.

Apparently for GM you can get around the Rooney Rule, if you name your GM VP of Football Ops. I think that position does not need the Rooney Rule, but GM does.

This is his record since Elway Left
99- 6-10
00 - 11-5
01- 8-8
02- 9-7
03- 10-6
04- 10-6
05 -13-3
06- 9-7
08- 8-8

Now... I'm more in favor of Gruden as well vs Shannahan... and Shannahan outside of a Conference Title Appaerance in 2005 didnt do much in the playoffs, an the AFC West has traditionally been much weaker then the NFC East.. but I'd certainley take this over what the REdskins had the last 10 years, thats for sure. I certainly dont think he did a bad job at all since Elway left.

Thats 6 winning seasons, 2 .55 seasons and a losing season...

All AFTER Elway.

[hooskins]

Yeah but Sherm Lewis and Blache should not be uttered in the same sentence as Gibbs. Vinny considers them all great and only Gibbs is.

it is a parting shot at Zorn, and for the Skins to release that statement, indicates Zorn is the ultimate lame duck

And only 1 playoff victory in 10 years. I agree with you that he's a good coach, just a little overrated. He may be the best coach for us because no one can build an offensive line and solid running game like Shannahan.

I think it's more the naming of SLewis and GBlache. No problem saying Great Coach in Joe Gibbs and great staff like JZ, GB, SL et al. But to list the current, without a mention somewhere of Zorn after he touted him, I think was very spiteful. The Sally Jenkins article gave a good thought on it.
