Ok, I know that some people reading this are saying what the hell? But think about it what makes more sense? He is now a known commodity with the redskins. Unlike Zorn you can tell that he puts alot of thought in all of his decisions. For example he was given "The Keys To The City" but allowed other people to still save face even though he did not have to.. When most would have moved Zorn completely out of the way. He allowed him to continue working with Campbell and calling plays during the two-minute offense. When most would have moved Sherm Smith out of the way and tryed to take over the running game he did not. Unlike Jim Zorn he is the perfect example of a HEAD COACH. He allowed people to stay in postions that they where possibly better suited for than him. According to Bill Walsh Sherm L. Has more experience teaching the West Coast Offense than Mike Holmgren or Mike Shanahan. He also learned the WCO prior to either Holmgren or Shanahan.
Now, can someone give me a reason other than his age (67) why he should not be our new coach ? By the way he works out almost every day. He looks twenty years younger than he is. He is not a fat AZZ like several other coaches in the league
LET THE BARRAGE BEGIN ....

Pass...
Bruce Allen is not a draft/college talent evaluator…so the Redskins need a head coach that has been in touch with the college game.
Brace yourself…the Redskins are in final negotiations with Mike Shanahan now as reported by the Denver Post.
Kevin that is better than Gruden to me. We have the defense now that Shanahan needed to ....
win more Super bowls . He would have had a handful of Super bowl rings if he had our defense.

But Shanahan failed as GM and Head Coach
I’m not going to complain though. It’s an upgrade from what we had and change was needed.

Shanahan won't be GM and Coach
He did fail at this in Denver but possibly it was due to having to deal with the other issues of a GM. As a coach working with a scouting group to find “their” style of players it might be the perfect fit for a long time to come…
Good point
The real reason he failed in DEN was the defense was so bad. Shanahan has no talent on the defensive side of the ball.
He inherits a great defense…hopefully Blache stays. Skins need as much continuity as possible. Jerry Gray I might be OK with as Def Coord if Blache walks. Snyder will probably want a big name.

I agree ....
with everything but GREY. I blame the position coach more than I do the Coordinator when it is mainly his players making mistakes (Landry getting burnt/ tackles) ( Smoot playing softer than a twinkie)

NONONONONONONONONO
NO NO NO. PLEASE let’s put Blache out of my misery. We have a lot of talent on defense, and THAT’s why our defense looks good (most of the time). But I want to go back to the aggressive style we played before GB took over. Enough playing 15 yards off the ball in the secondary. Enough treating the term blitz like a cuss word. Enough putting players in the wrong position, and enough handicapping one of the BEST PASS RUSHERS in the league by forcing him to drop into coverage. Orakpo would probably get 20 sacks if he lined up at DE full time.
And they could have
come during those game losing drives like vs the Cowboys.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
+100
I couldn’t agree more. I am so tired of this “sit back and see what they throw at us” defense that Blache employs. It cost us the Dallas game…
Our defense would be number 1 if we were 25 percent more aggressive with the blitzing.

I agree
Shanahan would be better than Gruden but I hope they have an open mind on other possibilities.
Between those two, or in general?
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
They don't necessarily need a HC in touch w/ the college game.
So long as the Sherminator selects coordinators who’ve kept up in recent years, he doesn’t need to have intimate knowledge himself.
That’s why he has assistants. (Partly)

Lewis
The age is a big factor because of energy. Skins head coach is a difficult management job, besides the obvious coaching aspect – Joe Gibbs finally decided he couldn’t, or just didn’t want to, do it. But SL has shown some management/leadership skills, as you say. Not a bad thought. Could satisfy the Rooney rule by exploring the idea.
Joe Gibbs has health issues:
He happens to be a diabetic. This does involve how the body uses energy.

From play calling to personel decisions not even including how he is using certain players on offense. My post I thought said it all. If Zorn would have been in Sherm’s position he would have just came in and took over. Their is no way that with Zorn being as conservative as he is, would he allowed anyone else to control “his” offense. This is one reason why he failed he thought he had all the answers but he did not.

I usually disregard arguments that start with if.
If Zorn would have been in Sherm’s position he would have just came in and took over.
Do you have any evidence of thoughtless decisions that actually happened?
It dosn't matter, SSBlitz
The whole argument is a contradiction. On one hand he says Zorn is a panzy, but when it suits his purpose he makes Zorn out to be a strong belligerent type that exerts himself over others. You can’t have it both ways.

Have you ever heard of the term "passive agressive" ??
This discribes Jim Zorn to a tee.

"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Conjecture
All baseless inference, How do you make a case for something which you have no real knowledge of how it is working other than tid bits of information from players, which by the way does not match the conjecture in your post, see HH report on play calling per Cooley.
or example he was given “The Keys To The City” but allowed other people to still save face even though he did not have to.. When most would have moved Zorn completely out of the way. He allowed him to continue working with Campbell and calling plays during the two-minute offense. When most would have moved Sherm Smith out of the way and tryed to take over the running game he did not. Unlike Jim Zorn he is the perfect example of a HEAD COACH. He allowed people to stay in postions that they where possibly better suited for than him
Please provide one ounce of evidence for any of the above statements:
Key to the City?
Had the ability to move Zorn out?
Zorn working with Campbell was Lewis’ choice?
Sherm L decided to have Sherm S. to call running plays?
Your post is filled with stupid conjecture and has no basis for drawing any opinons.
My theory
He has a free pass to the ’Skins shower room. Just a thought…
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
This Jason cat cracks me up.
He’s a Campbell apologist 100 percent of the time. A qb who has never gotten his team to the playoffs. End of story.
Baseless claims , one after another.

dr. WNC I would not expect any less from you than a bunch of garblegook nonsense.. LOL
I hate replying to people that do not use any commonsense. I guess what I call commonsense you call conjecture. Who was auditing who ? Sherm Lewis was reporting back to Dan as to what he felt liike the team needed on offense to be a winner. Ok, who decided that Zorn was going to call plays only during the two minute offense? I guess Zorn did LOL ??Wrong / Sherm Lewis is a west coast offense running game guy our running game is not west coast style. By the way Sherm Smith can only call a running play after Sherm Lewis says he wants to run the ball. So I guess Sherm Lewis used what I call commonsense and you call CONJECTURE and kept Sherm Smith in place because it made sense.
Thank you for the reply-the little button at the bottom of each comment
Common sense is not conjecture
You could state that you believe Lewis was provided “the keys” and other outlandish comments you made about Lewis but to state it as fact without any fact to backup it up is the definition of conjecture, let me simplfy it for you—> it’s your guess…
Maybe Zorn decided Smith should call running plays and Lewis concentrates on pass play…Maybe the complete situation was setup by Vinny which makes the MOST common sense since he was in charge and it was him who brought in Lewis. SO, using that as your basis: Common sense says that all the decisions were made by Vinny, so Vinny should be the Head coach
Lewis is a great coach: And I would support him as a head coach but to use factless points as fact and then to make a decision is useless and typical of your posts. All I am asking is for you to provide one factual proof of any of the statements you made.
Yea LJP, I don't think
Lewis had anywhere near as much authority as you think he did. And I agree with dr WNC that there isn’t any evidence anywhere to suggest that he might have. I think Lewis have done a fantastic job calling plays and letting players play to their strengths, but everything we’ve heard is that he really doesn’t have a lot of interaction with the players during the week— only Devin has said that Lewis has been helping coach. Smith and Stump Mitchell coach the RBs, Wachenheim coaches the TEs, etc. Zorn deserves a lot of credit for Jason’s play stepping up and keeping the entire team focused and professional in the face of this circus.

Think about it..
Sherm Lewis was hired as the Offensive Consultant. He was hired by Dan Snyder. He reports to Dan Snyder. He therefore has the ability to tell Dan whatever he wants about the Offense/ Jim Zorn good or bad. Do you not think that Dan Snyder listened to Sherm L.? By looking at the changes that were made after Sherm L. came I would say someone did. If anyone can prove to me that Zorn wanted the offense to change to this new set up I will be glad to listen. If anyone can not prove it I guess it will be only conjecture.

Um, no.
The burden of proof is on YOU, because you’re the one making all these statements about how Sherm Lewis is the shadow head coach power behind the throne and Jim Zorn basically sits around with his thumb up his ass 24/7.
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
It is amazing how some people get so defensive over a Jim "Pansie" Zorn...
Don’t worry dback he will be a qb coach or coaching high school football somewhere soon. Maybe he will find a coaching gig at Northern Bakersville Poly Technical Community College.

I DON'T get defensive over Zorn.
But it’s starting to get kind of annoying the way you’re constantly pimping Jason Campbell and Sherman Lewis for everything and blaming Jim Zorn. It’s as if Sherm Lewis invented the wheel and Jim Zorn was secretly the head of al-Qaida.

I was honestly addressing my posts about Zorn originally to ...
the people that had wanted Zorns head on a platter. It is now amazing to me that those same people give Zorn so much credit for our good play. It does not make any sense. Jim Zorn is responsible for less, our offense is doing great but now he is a good coach??
I blast everyone that needs blasting. For ex. Rock Cartwrightl did I not blast him as well? Now he is neutralized just like I wanted. I will stop blasting Zorn when he is in Oakland qb coaching Jemarcus Russell.

LOL , Ok this is my last response to this BS theory...
I am curious was Vinny not a “Yes Man” for Dan ???(yes) So explain to me how Vinny hired Sherm L. without Dan telling him to do it. Vinny could not wipe his azz without Dan telling him how many sheets of toilet paper he could use. So your conjecture or lack of commonsense is wrong.
Your BS theory that Zorn decided that Sherm Smith call running plays would be correct if Sherm Lewis was reporting to Zorn not Dan. If Sherm L. were hired by Zorn not By Dan your theory would make a little sense.
Yea, I know Jim Zorn in his great wisdom said I will reduce my role on offense to next to nothing. You my man are a funny guy. Maybe you did not watch the first game with Sherm L. calling plays. Did you not see Zorn’s face while he was on the sideline ? He looked like he had been put in time out or had the car keys took for the weekend by his parents. Oh, I know this is just conjecture ?? LOL, To some it is the power of observation. I bet you miss out on alot since most communication is non-verbal.

Cross-apply
my response to you in the other thread. Zorn does most of the work and gameplanning during the week, and Zorn retains ultimate authority over the play that’s called, and Zorn decides the protection scheme. Sherm Lewis doesn’t even talk directly to Campbell.
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"

Then we can find something better to argue about.. Jim “Pansie” Zorn lifetime QB coach he could not even get a leg up in the organization he played qb for.

Yeah, because,

"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Sherm Lewis 50% on 3rd downs Jim Zorn 30% ??
Can you honestly say that if jim Zorn were still in charge we would have even stood a chance against the Eagles,Cowboys or Saints. Hell we could not even beat the Lions with Zorn running things. Oh, I am sorry that is just conjecture no facts their at all ?
By the way Jim Zorn wasting time outs did not help. But yea it was Jasons fault he only had a qb rating of over 100%. How many games did Zorn cost us this season prior to Sherm Lewis. If Sherm Lewis had been here earlier in the season we would be playoff bound based on the increase in TD’s scored versus better competition.

Zorn is still in charge.....
I got one for you……shut up for a while….and go do some research on how many head coaches are NOT coordinators! Are they all worthless coaches. What is going on now works!!!! Period…….now…..you want to change it again. The head coach is responsible for so much……maybe play calling…with no background in it…..wasn’t good for Zorn. Doesn’t make him a bad coach…….the fact is…..the players love him….and no matter what you think…..they go out there and stick up for Zorn during the week…..and fight for him on Sundays (and this Monday). That says a lot…….you fired off at me previously if I have ever played football……I have….and I have coached youth football and lacrosse……liking your coach goes a long way in how you go out an battle! Do I still think Zorn is here next year……no…..do I think he should be …..yes. I think any coach….barring a major meltdown…..deserves 3 years to see what he can do. If you put Sherm L as head coach….he has to deal with all the other BS…..and maybe his playcalling suffers. Besides that…..Sherm doesn’t do the gameplan……he calls the passing plays!
I need facts not just your speculation ....
How do you know the players love Zorn ?? How do you know that they fight for Zorn on gameday ? Could they be fighting for respect, their jobs or their team mates. Sounds like speculation to me show me the facts. Just pure congecture that is all.
By the way I have pointed out mutiple times why Zorn is a pansie. My observation was based on Zorns words and deeds. I will not repost them for the umptenth time because you obviously have not been paying attenion.

Facts?
Why would I use those with you? You don’t use them, look at them, or recognize them anyway! Anyone gives you facts….you come back with blanket statements like “all the time, every time, never, etc”! On top of that…..don’t embarass yourself by puking up someone elses grammar on here and then misspelling it (congecture=conjecture). You are like that kid from school or the guy at the office that doesn’t want everyone to know how stupid he is; so he uses big words all the time, whether right or wrong in context. In the end…..you just look dumber to me!
Shvd, I am impressed you are a....
little prick. I spell a word wrong one time and here we go. How about the other times that I spelled it right . As you say " Jim Zorn has the players fighting for him and they love him" ? Please explain to me how this works? This is hillarious once again how do you know this as fact ??? Tic-Toc Tic-Toc / Chirp-Chirp, Chirp-Chirp (my best cricket sounds) still waiting ??

Reading is easy:
Quotes from the Washington Post:
The newspaper talked with two prominent offensive players and a veteran defensive player who wished to remain anonymous.
“I wish someone upstairs would just say he’s going to be our coach for the season,” one of the unnamed players told the newspaper. “That way, we don’t have to answer any more questions about it and everybody knows we’re in this boat together.”
Zorn has had an influence over the players. They didn’t blow him off; they showed up when they didn’t have to, which implies that they accept his methods as sound. Which is interesting, since everyone knows Zorn is on the hot seat.
Facts please what player said they loved him??
What player said that they are playing hard for Zorn ?These players are playing hard to keep their jobs. I can give you a fact a named player said that they were excited to have Sherm Lewis comming in to call plays. Wow, the video is even on the Redskins website. This seems like a player that respects his head coach, kicking a man when he is down. LOL

And that means....
they don’t like Zorn? They are all playing for Sherm? That isn’t a knock against Zorn as a HC…..that’s a knock against his play calling…..which nobody is arguing about….is horrible. Just because he sucks at his first gig calling plays…..does not mean he is a bad HC. By the way……not even close to the first time you have misspelled something……just the first time I have pointed it out! Those little red lines under all the words in your replies before you post them….point to you being an idiot! I will take being a “little prick” over an idiot!
No facts needed.....
by your standards. By the way…..I am not making an argument that has a stat or fact to it. It is called an observation. By observation….that means I have watched all the interviews…and all the recordings…..like you….and have not found one player saying one negative thing about Zorn. Players have expressed their remorse for not playing better for Zorn (that is as much info as you have ever given to back up any of your claims). The fact is….Zorn is the HC….and these guys have fought their asses off the last 4 weeks when they could have been shutting it down. Is the playcalling better under Sherman Lewis…….YES…….is the HC still doing a very admirable job in the most dire of coaching scenarios……absolutely!!! Zorn has faced rumors since last season of his offing…..reads stupid posts like yours all the time (although that’s like hearing a child say the don’t like chocolate)….as well as getting it from his owner. I am not and have never said Zorn is a top 10 coach…..all I am saying is he is a good coach that deserves a little respect for what he has come through with a team still willing to follow. Snyder and Vinny have discredited him not only to the media, but the fans as well. I hear people saying he is a pussy for not quitting…..he and his family lose 3 million that way…..he loses the ability to tell anyone in the future he has the nuts to face adversity as a coach of any kind….and he is tucking his tail and running. He stood up on those podiums….on the sidelines….knowing everyone is against him……and kept the players fighting every game. What he did is the equivalent doing something wrong…….and facing up to it…..as opposed to trying to hide it. Whether or not Zorn is here next year…..or whatever you want to say about him……he is a good man. He has always taken the blame…..doesn’t pass it around, he is honest, and direct. That makes a good man in my book and for that….he has my respect. If you ever earn somebodies respect……you might see how much that means. Zorn ranks way above you in every category……I would say that is worse than being a little prick!

Maybe the 2 minute drill is horrible
because your boy Campbell can’t hit wide open receivers under pressure of the clock. I can see JC’s brain smoking out of his ears when the pressure is on. The same reason he throws picks when we need a game winning drive. He is a bum. Don’t blame all Campbell’s shortcoming on the coaches.. or anyone else. The guy can’t get it done. Shanahan is gonna tell JC’s agent that the Skins are not making an offer. AT all.

Sanchez or Cutler ??A typical JC 17 hater ! What kind of shape would we have been in if most other QB’s in the NFL had tryed to play behind this line? Drew Brees has enough time to stand in the pocket and bake a cake. Look at Tom Brady he gets hit a couple of times and starts throwing intecptions. Hell Peyton has forgotten what it feels like to get hit. If jason is given enough time to throw he will be at the minumum a top ten qb in the league. He was pounded so many times against Oakland that he started to look like he was being cookie pressed into the grass. The funny thing about Jason “The Bum” Campbell is that he still had a great game.
By the way maybe he would have had less “clock pressure” if Jim “Pansie” Zorn had not wasted time-outs? It amazes me how some people seem to forget certain key coponents of why and how we lose.

"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Anyway, to answer LJP's question,
yes, I think they should AT LEAST allow Sherm to interview for the HC job, if he’s interested. That would also satisfy the Rooney Rule, and I DO think he’d make a good HC.
However, the age thing IS an issue, and can’t be ignored. Whether or not he “looks 20 years younger than he is” has nothing to do with whether or not he’s going to keel over and die tomorrow.
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Sherm Lewis
Yes, he should interview for HC if a change is being made…and if a change is not made Lewis needs to be retained in some aspect to continue to perform the magic on the offense of scoring points!
Yes.
As I’ve said, I’m in favor of Jim Zorn staying on another year as HC, and Sherm Lewis getting a full season to show off his mad OC skillz.
If Zorn’s firing is a foregone conclusion, then we should ABSOLUTELY interview Sherm for the position. He’s been around some damned good coaches in his day.
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Not just skillz.
Spermin’ Sherman’s got MAD skillz.
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
This is not in question.
Anyone who questions Spermin’ Sherman’s mad skillz has another thing comin’….
"The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, 'I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it.'"
Is it possible to get Gregg Williams back?
Maybe even as a head coach?
I can't see any chance of him coming back here
Snyder essentially fired him.

RUSS GRIMM....
is the only choice that makes any sense with this dysfunctional front office that we have. Danny boy’s new modus operandi seems to be hire old names. Russ has that old glorious name, but is younger than all these other clowns you all are talking about. Mark my words if Shanahan shows up here, eight made is the best we’ll ever see, sound familiar? I grew up in the Bay Area and was a Raiders fan before I moved here, unfortunately I’d seen all these shows before.
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button
RUSS GRIMM WOULD BE THE SECOND PR PLOY FROM "THE DAN"
Sure, Allen may be OK as a GM. Grimm may make a good head coach, but Dan doesn’t know that and he really doesn’t care. Fans have been spending less, corporate sales and club sales have tanked and Dan is starting to realize he has an entire generation that doesn’t even remember when we were a powerhouse. We’re FINALLY impacting his pocketbook.
Dan reached back into the past for a name that makes us all feel warm and fuzzy (maybe) for a GM. A tie to our glorious past. Now, sure, let’s get Grimm for Head Coach. Everybody likes Grimm. And Vinny’s gone, so the fans are happy, right? Maybe they’ll buy more licensed apparel for Christmas!
Let’s see what “THE DAN” does next. I don’t trust him to keep his nose out of things…

By that time SL will be 74 I believe which would be pretty old for the stress & work of a HC in the NFL. He has done great work for us this year tho & I would rather Sherm than Shannahan.
