Jason Campbell will be treated like a starter

Per this very fascinating ESPN article (hat tip: dr WNC) that is mostly praising new head coach Jim Zorn:

Which is precisely how starters should be treated. Campbell cannot go out this year operating like Patrick Ramsey, thinking that the starting position he earned will be ripped from underneath him at any moment. In any event, the threat of job loss isn't credible if we lose Todd Collins. Elsewhere: Pat Yasinskas questions that conclusion, which happens to be one that I reached after we hired Zorn. But much of what has happened since, specifically with his hiring of old pals at offensive coordinator and running backs coach, tends to suggest that he isn't merely a puppet but instead a guy willing to assert himself. Who knows?

The biggest admission in the article, though, feels almost like no one noticed what was just said. In this quote, emphasis added, Vinny Cerrato makes an extremely telling statement about how this team treats coaches Here is a quote from the article that doesn't really say anything besides Vinny and Dan's high opinion of Zorn:

The article doesn't pause for a moment to consider the ramifications of that statement, though it does note earlier that "Snyder has had a hand in everything" including our apparent proclivity for abandoning coaches. And yet mere paragraphs later you have an admission by Vinny Cerrato that the owner of this team and him basically admitted to one another that this team would be hiring a coach for one year. Now that can be read in two ways, one of them fairly innocuous; it could be just Vinny saying that Jim Zorn was such a super awesome candidate. Taken further, however, and it doesn't seem so harmless. He was so super awesome in the interview that whomever they brought in to coach the team wouldn't last a year with the better candidate on the staff? Is that how management should be operating? This guy is just so good that we're going to replace him next year with whatever place holder we hire anyways, yea? The premise here being that Dan and Vinny ostensibly weren't planning to contract out for merely one year of head coaching work from someone else and that Jim Zorn being elevated would necessarily include someone else -- Fassel, Mariucci, Spagnuolo, whomever -- getting fired.

Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but what an odd thing to say minutes after interviewing for your offensive coordinator? I think that's just a skosh too soon in the process to begin contemplating your next coach firing, though we're cool like that in Washington.
