Daniel Snyder is the new Head Coach for the Skins

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.

Playoff thoughts/ Faith and Football

Football equals life to some people. Football is full of many cliches. In reality though, those phrases are dual use. They apply to a football situation as well as real life. For the past few weeks I've been on a "never give up" campaign. I've been using football as my coping mechanism. I can remember all the times in football that my body wanted to give up but my mind wouldn't let it. I've been applying the same thoughts that allowed me to get through those moments to my current situation. I read this great article about how Joe Gibbs led his team back from nowhere into the playoffs. The article is about how they hit rock bottom this season and how Joe Gibbs forced the recovery. My "A setback is a setup for a comeback" theory was validated. LINK!

Football is a way of life and not just a game.

Redskins gave it all they had. For a short time in the 3rd quarter, I got to see Sean Taylor again. He channeled his spirit through the young and mighty Laron Landry to give the Skins a chance to win. Those two plays reminded me of Sean. In the end, Seattle's playoff level defense combined with the crowd noise was too much for the depleted yet spirited Redskins.

Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh as we had all discussed. No further comments are necessary. Read the blog if you need more information.

We all wanted Tampa Bay to win. New York was a better team that played better. Too much more physically and just as fast. They didn't disrupt Eli enough to beat NY.

Norv Turner ball at it finest. He did what Marty could not ever do. He was worth the hire even if he loses from here on out. He took them further than they have been since 1994. Leave Norv alone. Tennessee needs another receiver, a healthy Young, Pacman and they will be cool. They can be great next year.
