CSN: Zorn plays it safe, not smart
Jim Zorn is coaching scared.
When a coach’s job is on the line, he can do one of two things. He can go in with the mindset that he has nothing to lose, pull out all of the stops and employ an aggressive strategy. Whenever there is a reasonable choice between playing it safe and taking [...]

The bus rolls over Zorn again

Portis vs Zorn a lose-lose situation
Clinton Portis needs to shut up.
Jim Zorn needed to speak up.
In choosing to blast Zorn on the John Thompson show (boy, Snyder owning that station really has stifled criticism of the team, hasn’t it?), Portis created a distraction at exactly the time that the team did not need it. After sitting out most of the [...]
My Jim Zorn Moment
I nearly had the Jim Zorn moment that Ryan O’Halloran of the Times experienced after the Lions game.
In case you haven’t seen it, go to about the 2:00 mark in this video. You’ll see Zorn get annoyed at a series of followup questions by O’Halloran, who was trying to find out about Zorn’s thinking on [...]
