Washington Redskins just hired Jim Zorn to be there head coach. Before discussing Zorn I must make a quick point. Daniel Snyder is now the actual head coach. He did a great job of putting together an excellent coaching staff. He interviewed all of candidates and learned what was needed to coach(be a CEO/Politician).
He gave Zorn the title but don't fool yourself. Zorn's top priority will be Jason Cambpell. They are investing the whole franchise and infrastructure in young Jason. All in baby! It's been proven over time that head coaches don't have the time to spend on a young QB. This is true, but offensive coordinators(in terms of responsibilities not the title) do have the time.
He may be a head coach in title, but in reality he is a QB developing offensive coordinator in terms of roles and responsibilities. Since he was a QB, he already knows how to manage the game. He will take care of that for Coach Daniel. This is like Ownership 2.0(interactive) style. Jerry Jones is like ownership version 1.5.
Basketball players make an easy transition into coaching, why can't football players. It's not rocket science. The reason this is taboo is because it violates the "put your time in" concept even though it truly doesn't matter.
This may seem like a stretch to make the jump from a position coach to head coach. I would normally agree, but I truly believe that life and situational experience is more important that specific job experience. Zorn is a top notch world class football coach, and if he has the political abilities then he is qualified.
Mike Tomlin was a hell of a coach and was a natural politician who understands organizational structure. Even if Zorn isn't a natural but can grasp what's required from a leadership standpoint, I'm ok with that. I think this is very refreshing and Jim Zorn may be like Joe Gibbs(1st term) reincarnate. I prefer him to everyone else, even Mooch.
I'm watching Mo Betta Blues. This may be the only movie with both Wesley and Denzel.
