On his weekly radio show in D.C., Redskins V.P. Vinny Cerrato said this morning that head coach Jim Zorn will not be fired mid-season, contrary to what much of the speculation has been.
From Redskins.com’s Matt Terl:
Cerrato on radio: Jim Zorn is head coach "for the rest of this season, and hopefully into the future."
Of course, Cerrato saying Zorn won't be fired mid-season doesn't necessarily mean Zorn won't be fired mid-season. Cerrato already cut Zorn's legs off by taking away play-calling after last Sunday's game and handing it to newly-hired Sherm Lewis -- the least he could do at this point is show public support for the head coach he helped bring in. Even for someone as inept as Cerrato, it's hard to imagine him coming out and saying, "Eh, not sure if we'll keep Zorn all season. We'll see."
Speaking of Hiring Zorn, here's more on that from Cerrato along with how much him and Dan Snyder just LOVE the fans. Which is odd, seeing as the two of them continually screw the fanbase over:
"I hired Jim along with Dan Snyder. Obviously, we're all disappointed with this season's performance thus far. Dan constantly talks about how disappointing he is for the fans. We feel the frustration of the fans. We want the fans big-time on Monday night. We want to make them proud. There are a lot of media people that say Dan needs to say this, do that. Dan has never spoken to the media during the season for over a decade. Dan's thing is, during the season, the stage belongs to the head of football operations, the head coach, the players. That's why he doesn't talk."
