The WashingtonPost.com asked, “After two unsuccessful seasons, Washington Redskins Coach Jim Zorn was fired from his job this week. How hard is it for people to recover from being labeled a failure? Do you think Zorn will get another chance to coach in the NFL?”
Here’s part of Kristina’s column:
I do not believe that Jim Zorn is a failure. Zorn may not get another job as an NFL coach, but he inherited a team that had problems. Any team that has seven coaches in nine years is a problem.
These problems will not go away overnight. I believe the owner of the team needs to stop micromanaging the coach and give them a chance. There is so much pressure working under Dan Snyder, how can anyone succeed?
