“This is a shock to me. It’s a long, twisted story … There was something going on behind the scenes, there’s no question about it. I thought things were falling my way, then, suddenly, this happens. It’s strange … Dan [Snyder] wanted to make a big splash, and I think he was worried about the Baltimore thing (referring to his termination from the Ravens during the 2006 season). He worried about the public relations, and he didn’t know which way to go. I heard someone say there are no more George Youngs or Jim Finks in this league, people who really know the game. And I think that happened here. I don’t think Dan surrounded himself with enough football people … Someone said to me that Jim Zorn has three jobs he hasn’t done now. He’s a head coach, and he’s never done it. He’s an offensive coordinator, and he’s never done it. And he’s calling the plays, and he’s never done it.”

Apparently, Coach Fassel thinks Executive V.P. of Football Ops Vinny Cerrato promoted Jim Zorn behind the scenes, and that Cerrato GENERALLY doesn’t know what he’s doing.
