Zorn has no ego at all. He got his playcalling taken away from him in Washington (and replaced by a guy who was calling bingo in a rest home), and didn't quit.

But why was he fired in Baltimore?

Not sure where Rotoworld is getting this from but apparently they're eluding to the fact that Zorn couldn't get along with the coaching staff (resulting in his firing?). Love the hire but I hope they have their facts wrong as Haley doesn't seem to be the easiest to get along with.

CHIEFS NAME JIM ZORN AS QBS COACH
"Chiefs named Jim Zorn as quarterbacks coach.
We'd usually say we liked the move, but head coach Todd Haley has made it clear that he's running the offensive show in Kansas City, and Zorn's hiring in Baltimore last year seemed to upset chemistry between Ravens coaches and players. Zorn will work under Haley and new coordinator Bill Muir."

I'm confident this is going to be a much bigger deal than a lot of people may realize right now. Flacco made a HUGE leap this year with an incredibly difficult schedule. Matt now has the same opportunity.
Flacco was pissed when Zorn got fired.

Like the hire...Why didn't they just hire Zorn to be OC and QB coach. Seems like Muir will just be in the way.

Why are they eluding facts?

Because the Ravens offense didnt progress in the playoffs.

IMO, its more Flacco than anything. Hes solid, but not top tier. In the playoffs outside of the Chiefs game, hes really never done much.

Mr. Flopnuts 02-15-2011 10:55 AM
Is bet money that Zorn was a scapegoat goat in the whole Al Saunders deal. Saunders has always been a drama queen, while Zorn has always kept his head down and his mouth shut. Their loss is unequivocally our gain.

That's why you hedge your bets and draft a QB for a year or two down the road. You give Zorn a guy with all the physical tools like a Ryan Mallett.

If Cassel works out? Great.

If not? Well that sucks. Onto the next guy.

But I like the hire.

Woah...I hadn't considered this possibility.

Anyone think this could signal a Locker/Mallet/Newton pick in the first round?

It's absolutely possible that we're bringing Zorn in to groom the new boss just as much as we're bringing him in to refine Cassel.
