Redskins head coach Jim Zorn thought about quitting
NFL - Sports Rumors - Yahoo! Sports —
It can't feel good to be an NFL head coach and be asked to give up all offensive play-calling. That's what the Washington Redskins recently asked coach Jim Zorn to do and he was so unhappy about it that he very nearly went ahead and turned in his whistle and went home, according to NFL.com. At least that's what Zorn's former Seattle Seahawks teammate Steve Largent said yesterday. Zorn apparently didn't want to hand over the responsibilities of play-calling to consultant Sherman Lewis, who the team recently hired. One imagines that pretty soon it won't be Zorn's choice whether he is with the team or not.
