Redskins' Coach Zorn, GM Cerrato Go All In to Save Their Jobs

There is almost never anything positive to say about the Redskins' management the past decade, but this week Danny Snyder toadie Vinny Cerrato actually did something right. By giving head coach Jim Zorn the season-long vote of confidence, Cerrato and Snyder sent a clear message to the players to stop looking over their shoulders. They also sent the message that NO job is safe after the season.


Every player, from Jason Campbell to Clinton Portis, is on the chopping block now. Since Cerrato has linked himself to Zorn, they are likely both gone after this season absent a startling show of motivation and strategy. New GM and new head coach means no job is safe. Just look at the Cleveland Jets when Mangini took over, or the Dallas Jets when Parcells took over. Big name guys like to bring in people they trust.

Will the Redskins win more than 6 games this season? Almost certainly not. Still, Cerrato's move is the best talent evaluation tool he had remaining. Every player must play his best the rest of the way. With some breaks, maybe Cerrato keeps his job. That's all a Redskins hater like me can hope to see.

You lost me after "There is almost never anything positive to say about the Redskins' management the past decade..."

The extraordinarily hollow "vote of confidence" shouldn't have changed anyone's perception about anything. We all thought Zorn would not be here next year, and that's what we still all think.

I've heard that Cerrato is tied to Zorn. Even if we take that at face value, I'm not really sure what the difference is. Cerrato is not the problem. He's not the solution, obviously, but he's not the problem.

I'll grant you that he is the symptom of the problem, if he really is just a puppet for Snyder.

But if Snyder is the problem, you have no solution. You'll never have a solution.

Well I haven't really been the voice of optimism around here, now have I? I don't know, maybe Danny Boy will wake up with better sense tomorrow.

Let's see how this "vote of confidence" holds up after tonight.

Snyderrato is the problem here. Snyder and mini me Vinny are the reason we are mediocre year after year.
