Let's not get into why Gregg Williams isn't good enough to be head coach. Or why Russ Grimm hasn't even been interviewed. Or why Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato seem to be infatuated with Jim Fassel, Steve Spagnuolo and/or Josh McDaniels. For now, let's focus on why they fired offensive chief Al Saunders and replaced him with Seattle QB coach Jim Zorn.
Essentially, they've discarded an accomplished offensive coordinator whose squads excelled in Kansas City and have been average in D.C. and replaced him with a first-time offensive coordinator whose quarterback coaching was quite good in Seattle.
The obvious reasons to question such a move are at least four-fold: 1) Saunders is proven, Zorn is not. 2) The team spent the past two seasons grasping Saunders' complex offense. 3) Jason Campbell has to learn yet another offense. 4) Most times the way it works is you hire the head coach first, then the assistants.
The obvious reasons to support such a move are, well, zero-fold.
So why make it? Is Danny just the petulant child he's made out to be? Is Saunders, despite his resume, somehow a flawed offensive coach? Is Zorn, at 54, the NFL's next great offensive mind?
You tell me, because I have no idea. And, judging from the general sense of bafflement and lack of answers, I don't think anyone else does either.
