On his Friday radio show Redskins V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato announced that embattled Redskins head coach Jim Zorn would remain the head coach.
Cerrato told his audience “Inside the RedZone” that management wanted Zorn to remain the Redskins head coach for the remainder of the 2009 season.
"Let me make this perfectly clear, Jim Zorn will remain the head coach of the Washington Redskins for the 2009 season and hopefully longer into the future," stated Cerrato.
He denied the reports that former Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs would be coming back in a Bill Parcells role like in Miami as the team president who would hire a new general manager and head coach.
Cerrato said that:”We are not firing Jim [Zorn] we want to see how this season works out. We have not given up on him or his ability to coach this team. Far too much has been read into having Sherman Lewis calling the plays… it is simply giving a new voice to the offense.”
Cerrato told his listeners:”We need a signature win and we are too early in this season. There are way too many things left to play out. This thing can be turned around and it all starts Monday night against Philly.”
