    0-6 + 59-0 = hot seat, and I don't care what he has done for them up to this point. It has been 10 years since his last SuperBowl appearance.

    Say what you want about Dan Snyder and i agree, if not for him hiring Zorn, the Saints probably wouldn't have Greg Williams because he was thought to be the guy who was going to get the Redskins job when Zorn got it.

    Fisher officially went on board today.

    He's lost the team and once that happens it's impossible for you to retain your job in the NFL.

    Jauron only saves his job because he beat the hated Jets on the road today. His time is still close at hand, however.

    I expect Zorn's firing to be announced sometime tomorrow. They have officially bottomed out.

    NFL Network reporting that management has taking play calling away form Zorn. How do you do something like that and not fire the guy?

    Couple more losses and Fisher will be fired during the season. Yesterday was a complete embarrassment for the Titans. It may not be Fisher's fault but they will have to do something to shake up that team. Fisher is a good coach but the perfect storm lined up against him this year. Tenn looks about as inept as a team can look in all facets of the game.

    I cant see Zorn lasting much longer but Washington's biggest problem is their offensive line. Its not the play calling. They lost one of the best lineman in the league (Samuals) and have others either out or playing hurt. They had no depth to begin with but stupid management was making brain dead statements in the summer about how much depth they had on the line. Most observers disagreed with them.

    Snyder will never own a successful team unless he gets himself and his cronies completely out of the day to day operations. They need to hire a director of football who has total control.

    I don't think there is a precedent for this happening.

    Normally head coaches take away play calling duties from their OC. Never heard of ownership stripping it from the head coach.

    Come to think of it, how could the HC let it happen. Strange relationship there.

    Yeah and he had to explain it all in the press conference. It was pretty bizarre.

    The guy on XM Radio said that Zorn didn't sound convinced that the new OC was going to be able to do any better with only 2 weeks on the job.
