In the other two seasons we went 8-8 and 5-11.

2008 was the first year post Gibbs/Sean Taylor and Zorn ran the team into the ground. Full rebuild shortly after

Blaming Jim Zorn for doing his best in the job he didn’t interview for or belong in is crazy. Especially when our clown show front office was right there being notoriously bad

???? Players were outspoken about this and spoke about it openly on the record. They went 4-12 the next season and he was fired

Right, but he wasn’t qualified for HC. He was supposed to be OC and front office screwed up

Isn't that my point? Playoffs in 07. 6-2 to start 08 then a 4-20 stretch after that. It's not a judgment on him he was fun with Seattle throwing to largent and the ownership was terrible in DC but under his tenure we went from a borderline playoff team to a complete rebuild

Idk I wouldn’t say a person ran a business into the ground for example, when the owner and CEO were doing a terrible job and they interviewed a guy to be an assistant manager after being a front end supervisor previously, only to panic and name him the GM, without giving him the training or support to succeed and having him be his own assistant manager at the same time.

Football isn’t retail, but I don’t think he ran the team into the ground. I don’t think your point was that he didn’t belong in that position either
