Says Peter on NBC Football night in America - Post Game meeting with the Brain Trust of the Skins. Vinnie told Peter that he/they have asked Coach JZ to give up his play calling duties during the game and just concentrate on his head coaching duties.
No word as to whether JZ agreed, or not.

Yes please...give it to Sherm Smith. Zorn calls play like it's Pop Warner.
He is out of his element, out of his league.....

Sounds unlikely...or a last desperate thrash. Sherman just got here and he's now to call plays????

Wash Post is reporting Zorn agreed to give up playcalling duties. Vinny and Zorn will discuss who will call the plays going forward during a meeting tomorrow.

Zorn to stop calling plays
After yet another poor offensive performance on Sunday afternoon in a 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at FedEx Field, the Washington Redskins did make a coaching change - but not the one many were expecting.

The Redskins announced late Sunday night that Vinny Cerrato, the executive vice president of football operations, had met with Coach Jim Zorn after the game and told him he thought Zorn had too much on his plate.

According to Zack Bolno, the Redskins' director of communications, Cerrato told Zorn he wants him to succeed and that he believes someone else should call the plays. Zorn did not disagree and the two will meet Monday to decide who will call the plays.
According to Bolno, wwner Daniel Snyder was not in the meeting but is aware of the decision.

Huh?

Saunders is an offensive consultant for Baltimore.

Williams is the defensive coordinator for the 5-0 Saints.

Snyder and his little sidekick of dumb, Vinny, passed on both and opted for Zorn and here we are.......

Did you say that Sherm Lewis was going to be calling plays or Bingo Numbers?

Seriously, when was the last time you watched a Redskins game in the past 10 years when you said, "Yeah, we definitely had a better offensive gameplan than the other team".

Danny's attempt to make yet another coach resign..

chiefhog44 · Post by **chiefhog44** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:01 pm

Sure...let's keep peeling back this onion to figure out whats wrong. We benched Campbell. Offense still sucked. Zorn will give up playcalling...nothing will happen. He'll get fired...nothing new. New coach will come in and muck it up for two more years...offense is still inept. It's at this moment that Snyder will realize that the problem is the front office...and he will re-sign Vinny to another 10 year contract and continue paying players to not play

This would be great news if there was anyone good to step in and call plays. That seems doubtful.

But Zorn is clearly poor at calling plays, so I'm for some change.

In my blog this evening, I asked the question:

A fan revolt is in the making, you can be sure. The question is, what will you be doing about it? Do you make the changes that you know you must make? Or do you take some superficial, cosmetic action? Do you blame the press? Or do you accept accountability, admit you have made major errors, and begin the process of making corrections?

Looks like "superficial, cosmetic" it is...

Heck, Sherm Lewis called Bingo numbers...... he'd be perfect for calling plays too.

This has been confirmed on http://www.Redskins.com

Looks like the latter to me.

oh i am sure we will be much better off for the rest of the season if we just fire everyone and start fresh.

maybe Snyder was not in the meeting because he's scripting the plays he wants Sherm to call for next Monday night's game with Philadelphia

the plot thickens - where is Skins Freak when we need him? :twisted:

chiefhog44 · Post by **chiefhog44** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:05 pm

Among the candidates are offensive coordinator Sherman Smith, offensive consultant Sherman Lewis and assistant head coach-running backs Stump Mitchell.

Yikes, these are my choices? I'll see you next year. It's time to start cheering on the Blackhawks.

I wonder what Zorn thinks about being told that he is completely inept at his job, by someone who is even more inept at theirs.

I'm sure he'll stay medium.
