How Did Jim Zorn Not Get Fired?

Redskins fans came into this NFL season without very high expectations after last season. However, they never knew how low their expectations should have really been. After 3 games the Skins are 1 - 2, not good but their performance is worse than their record indicates.

The fact that the Skins lost to the Giants in week 1 on the road was not that big of deal. However, they looked very lackluster with no offense and seemed very unmotivated. The ugly begin to show in week 2. Hosting the horrible Rams for their first home game of the season, the Skins laid a nice fat egg but snuck out the back door with a 9 - 7 win. How would you have liked to paid top dollar to see that disgusting display of offense?

If that was ugly, the hideous showed up this past Sunday as the Skins FOUND a way to lose to the hapless Lions. Think about this, the Skins are supposed to be somewhat competitive - on paper - with the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles. Yet, they beat a Rams team that had lost 11 consecutive regular season games by 9 - 7. Then the next week they LOST to a Lions team that had lost 19 consecutive regular season games.

EMBARRASSING! SIMPLY EMBARRASSING! NO EXCUSES FOR IT! VERY UNDER ACHIEVING AND COMPLETELY THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL! Therefore, I ask you this question, why didn't the owner Daniel Snyder fire head coach Jim Zorn immediately following the game Sunday? Could it get worse? Not in my opinion. You played two of the worst teams in the NFL. Barely beat one and lost to the other.

If I were Daniel Snyder, I would rather have a team motivated & learning a new coach than to have an underachieving team that is full steam in the wrong direction. I would have fired Zorn in Detroit and given him the money for a plane ticket home. These guys are professionals who supposedly put 14 and 15 hour days in trying to be successful. After working 14 hour days, if all you can get out of the Redskins' talent is a 2 point win over the Lambs and a loss to the Big Pussy Cats, then you will never get the job done and almost anything is better than this.

Daniel Snyder has done some silly things as owner of the Redskins that would indicate he is a totally incompetent football evaluator. He gave big money to Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith when both were over the hill and couldn't play any more. He brought Joe Gibbs back after the game had passed him by. He turns over the roster like it is a fantasy football team. He tries to buy a trophy. Amazingly though, it was what Snyder didn't do on Sunday or Monday that provides the most evidence that he is a totally incompetent football evaluator. Snyder didn't fire Jim Zorn immediately after watching the two most embarrassing performances his team has ever had.
