Yup. He and a few other teammates.

Good hire.

Love it, takes a bit of the sting out of the Muir promotion.

I think this is a good hire.

Charlie Batch, a QB with limited talent, had a really productive rookie season under Zorn's guidance as QB coach, and Matt Hasselbeck had some very good seasons with Zorn as his coach.

Zorn, as a player, did more with little natural ability than anyone could/should have expected.

with no season muir gets his one year as OC and zorn takes over after the lockout.

Flacco is another good point. 2 different offenses with QB's that to a degree, have question marks around them. Both improve markedly. This reeks of Awesomeness. I'm thrilled about this hire.

Nice hire. Hopefully Mark Castle can take the next step forward.

I don't have any complaints about this hire.

That's a homerun hire. The guy is probably one of the 3 best QB coaches in the league and QBs everywhere he's been have improved.

I think Zorn will have a lot of input in the passing offense, with Muir controlling the running.

It made a bad hire with Muir a little more tolerable.

Hope he doesn't still have any Redskin stink on him.

And I believe Flacco was upset when Baltimore got rid of him. So that says a lot.

Flacco wasn't upset, he was furious. He was on Sirius the day it happened saying how it was an awful move for the organization and how much Zorn taught him.

Joe Flacco On Jim Zorn Firing: 'I'm Not Happy About It'

Last week, the Baltimore Ravens fired their quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn, despite Joe Flacco having the best statistical year of his career. The star quarterback told Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times on Friday what he thinks of the firing.

"I'm not happy about it, and they know I'm not happy about it," Flacco said.

He went on to explain how he feels personally attacked by the personnel move.

"I also feel like a little bit like I'm being attacked. You fire the quarterback coach. Usually when your fire a position coach, it's because you're not really happy with how that position did," Flacco said. "And when I look back on my season and our season as a team, I mean, we won 13 games. I felt like I had a pretty good year and you're firing the quarterback coach? t's kind of an attack on me, I feel like."

Flacco continued, saying that the Ravens will be successful in the future and he would have liked Zorn to be a part of it.

The 26-year-old threw for 3,622 and 25 touchdown passes in 2010.

Let's hope Haley doesn't let him do this.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-U_7EIUVHM

If Haley choked on play calling again, I have no doubt Zorn could be a very good O coordinator.
