Fire Jim Zorn. It’s gonna happen. But when is the best time to make a big change? The week before a nationally televised home game against NFC East rival Philadelphia, I think not. How about giving the Deadskins one last shot with Zorn leading the charge. Once they have been totally humiliated in front of the nation, show JZ the door.

It’s not that I don’t like Zorn. I just feel the poor guy is in way over his head. This debacle in DC is not his fault. Owner Daniel Snyder hired Zorn as offensive coordinator before handing him the keys to the kingdom. Zorn made the jump from quarterbacks coach in Seattle to leading the Washington Redskins. Can you say, “fish out of water?”  Well the experiment didn’t work, in fact it blew of up Snyder’s face. Yes trying to find the next Joe Gibbs is no easy task and and Zorn is no Joe Gibbs.

Here’s some advice to Snyder. Once your team reaches the bye week, make a change at the top. Replace Zorn with an interim head coach from inside the organization. Give cornerback’s coach Jerry Gray a shot at leading the team into the second half of the season.

After each Redskins loss this season, Zorn was quick to take responsibility for the loss. He blamed himself for bad play calling. So tonight the Redskins relieved Zorn of his play calling duties. Will it make any difference next week against the Eagles? Not a chance. The Redskins have so many problems in so many areas that it won’t matter what play is called. Relieving Zorn of play calling is like handing the worlds greatest chef a dead trout and asking him to make it taste good.

Yes the Redskins stink. They are going to stink no matter who calls the plays.

Giving Zorn the pink slip will happen soon enough. Just not before the Eagles come to town. Come to think of it, there’s been a lot of pink in football games this season. Zorn can’t say he didn’t see it coming.
