Redskins are interviewing Seattle Qb coach Jim Zorn for an offensive coordinator position, according to league sources. The Redskins asked premission to talk to him this week - again not the head coaching job - and flew him from the Senior Bowl in Mobile to town today, where was expected to interview at owner Daniel Snyder's house.

Could be for either Fassel or Williams....

I wish they would announce a coach already

to read the tea leaves, query what connection Zorn has to either GW or Fassel at a previous stop. I seem to remember Zorn serving as the QB coach of a team other than the Seahawks at some point, but I cannot remember whom and when. Does he have any OC experience? Puzzling choice.

We do everything backwards. It could be that Fassel or Williams is on board with a Zorn interview, but why do we do everything backwards?

By the way, I have actually accepted a position with the team as water boy. I asked Snyder during the interview if he was concerned about how I may mesh with the still unhired HC, and he said it was much more important to secure me as waterboy now, and he doesn't really care what some HC thinks.

I like the idea of Zorn, young, energetic former QB that can probably help JC grow in many ways. Seems like Snyder is believing in this notion that he really wants JC to develop. Fassel was known for developing QBs and now Zorn. Interesting. I really like the idea of Rex Ryan. Could we actually some day have a real defensive line?

I think Snyder wants to cart out with the whole team in place when he announces Fassel.

So, the head coach isn't interviewing for his staff, the front office is. Hmmm.

You will be head coach of the Redskins and I'm assigning you your Offensive and Defensive coordinators.

Shouldn't the head coach pick his assistants.

I really wish we would keep Saunders, I just don't understand why we are in such a rush to get rid of him.

He was QB coach for the Lions from 98-2000, there does not seem to be any connection between he and either GW or Fassel. The closest I could come to connecting the two is that Zorn was QB coach at Boise State while Fassel was at Utah.

Its hard to know much about the guy, but he has helped Hasselbeck develope into one of the better QB's in the league. Again, I'm not sure exactly how responsible he is for that, but never the less.

I think this means we have our man and we are getting the staff in order. And it defintely spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E for Saunders either way.

Snyder wants an All-Jim coaching staff.

Zorn is WCO guy, so this has to be Fassel. He's very good with Qbs.

maybe the Fassell deal is set, they just haven't announced it. if so, i can see where Mark is going that he wants this all in one fell swoop rather than dragging it on any longer.

Perhaps this is what Gibbs meant by continuity...the QB position. I'm ready to push all in on Campbell, he's shown enough in the past two years to convince me we should take our shot and build around him. He still has a ways to go in terms of progresion, but if we get the right guys in here to help him (which we appear to be doing), he could really take flight in the next season or two.

HC- Fassel
OC- Zorn
DC- Ryan

Yeah, I'm cool with that.

Jim ***Censored By Spence*** Zorn?!? This is probably a Fassel pick, not that they have worked together but Zorn obviously knows the ins and outs of the WCO.

Man, this sucks. WCO and possibly a 3-4 D... Talk about blowing the whole team up and starting over.
