You just can't fire Zorn and the offensive staff and hand the keys over to Blache and expect him to hire an offensive coordinator and get up to speed in a week or two.
So, you bring in a guy experienced with the WCO, have him digesting the playbook real quick, while evaluating the players and offensive coaches. As soon as he's comfortable, BOOM ... Zorn and staff are gone. Blache takes over as HC and defensive play caller ... Lewis takes over as OC and caller ... retains the coaches he's had the opportunity to evaluate and adds whoever he feels he needs.
Timing wise, I don't think Zorn even gets three weeks. A good whuppin on Sunday could see him out the door, handing the offense over to Lewis for a dress rehearsal game against the Chiefs ... before having to face the Eagles.
If they're trying to save the season, I don't think you can wait till the buy week ... at 3 and 5 (loss to Carolina, KC win, Eagles loss) they would be in too deep a hole with the strength of the schedule coming up.
I think the deal is already done.
Well Ray, I think you might get your wish now....
