Yeah, like the Redskins are the first and only team to conduct an interview with a minority candidate they have no intention of hiring. Please.
And Zorn has about 3 million reasons to stick it out, his 2010 salary that he doesn’t collect if he walks. Plus he’s showing prospective future employers that he can endure under the worst of circumstances.

bearsrule,
Zorn is just being smart. He knows that Snyder will fire him at the end of the year. As long as he doesn’t “pull a Kiffin”, Snyder can’t fire him with cause. Therefore, he will receive a lot of money while being unemployed.

Rooney Rule? No problem, we can circumvent that.
I guess some things never change with the Redskins. Maybe they’ll bring back the all-white team next.

bearsrule – Your telling me that you wouldn’t stay in the job? I think Zorn knows perfectly well that he’s going to get fired. The Redskins were trying to force him out when they stripped him of playcalling. They were hoping he’d quit to save them some more. He’s pretty much sticking it to them by sticking around, and as a bonus, making good dough on it as well.

…and since Blache is the only candidate Florio has actually “heard” about, then that must be proof that the Redskins didn’t interview anyone else, right?
Damn Florio… you humor me.

Jim Zorn must not have a shred of a gonad or self respect to keep putting up with this stuff.

The Rooney rule is an absolute embarrassment to professional sports and an insult to people of color. This rule inadvertently has the opposite effect of what it’s trying to do. Congratulations Mr. Rooney, now every time an African American gets a call for an interview, he can no longer assume that he’s getting the call for his abilities but rather because of his color. Talk about racism. Wow. Hey, while you’re at it, why don’t you make NFL teams interview a woman as well as a person of color. I mean come on….that’s not insulting to a woman at all.

Another example of this guy’s lack of principles and professional ethics. Participating in a sham interview–huh!. He should be embarrassed. But I guess it shows what dirty money (and a shotgun) will buy.

You crouton!
The Redskins could have been going through this process for ages in NFL-time. Weeks maybe.
If something’s going on behind the scenes in the NFL and Florio doesn’t hear about it, it isn’t happening?!

Mike Florio said:
“It’s unknown when the interview specifically occurred.”
Very likely during the time it was decided to bring Sherm Lewis on board…then they had a replacement for Zorn if he walked.

HAHAHAHA…when I got in my car to go home from work yesterday it was already tuned to 106.7 from the drive in. The first thing I hear is Mike Wise calling you a scumbag and then after listening to it further he contradicts himself by saying that you are only doing your job….
That guy sucks…

Is Blache Black? If Blache was White would it still be OK under the Rooney rule or does spelling count?

& why is the Rooney rule so important? I’ll tell you why because Roger Good-douche is turning the NFL into a Mickey Mouse club. Way to go Roger!

Not surprising. It’s pretty well known that Blache wants to retire. It’s also well known that he has a close relationship with Snyder. He was basically talked back into being the Defensive Coordinator by Snyder. While Blache may dream about a HC job, he’s probably realistic enough to know it isn’t happening. I imagine he did this as a favor to Snyder, as Blache is very much a loyalist.
