Harry Buffalo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wow that was stupid of the Ravens. Flacco only had one bad game this year and managed to slightly imporve in everything other than passing yards which stayed about the same from the year before. Another guy with head coaching experiance who has a record of doing good work with QB's. I would take this guy or the O-Line coach from the Eagles in a heart beat.

It stated on Rotoworld.com that we're not interviewing Juan Castillo(Eagles O-line coach) for offensive coordinator. I think it's gonna be Jim Zorn or Tom Clements, QB coach of the packers.

dawgpound3 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Still Zorn or Clements would be good additions. I agree. Both guys have a good pedigree of developing quarterbacks which is good for Colt Mccoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHIKA Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Mary Kay is tweeting the Browns aren't interested. #Browns not expected to interview Jim Zorn for any offensive position. He was let go as Ravens QB coach 2day.#nfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagitron Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 What's wrong with you? Zombo O Has anyone ever truly been impressed by Zorn? Even as a coordinator he's completely underwhelming. I've never thought highly of him and it's now two organizations that have run him out of town. It comes to a point where a organization NEEDS to hold all their signings/hiring to a higher standard. Jim Zorn is completely "meh" and will always be "meh". Hell I'm not big on Dick J either but he's at least regarded by some as a solid defensive mind. Once again the Ravens unloaded the guy for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco expressed sharp disappointment over the firing of his position coach, Jim Zorn, and labeled the move an "attack" on him after his solid 2010 performance. "I also feel like a little bit like I'm being attacked," Flacco told the Carroll County Times on Saturday. "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. 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? It's kind of an attack on me, I feel like." Flacco threw for 3,622 yards and 26 touchdowns with 10 interceptions -- good enough for a career-best 93.6 passer rating that ranked seventh in the NFL -- in 16 regular-season starts for the Ravens. "I'm not happy about it," Flacco added. "They know that I'm not happy about it. It's not news to them. ... I'm not going to be happy about it, for a long time. This year will be what it is. We're going to be successful this year. I would have just liked him to be a part of it. He would have liked to be a part of it. And I think it would have been good for him to be a part of it." Zorn was dismissed Thursday after one season in Baltimore. Upon firing Zorn, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he wanted to expand the role of offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Flacco understands this but said he would have preferred that Zorn stayed, too. The Baltimore Sun reported Thursday that Zorn was fired following a seven-hour meeting with Harbaugh and Cameron. The coaches questioned Flacco's development this season, according to the newspaper's source. Harbaugh on Friday called The Sun's report "inaccurate and unfair to Jim Zorn ... in no way does it describe Jim's relationship with the Ravens, and that includes with his fellow coaches while here and our players. "Jim's departure from the Ravens will remain as private as these matters can be," Harbaugh told The Sun, "but we feel it's necessary to at least point out that this report is inaccurate. It is not true in any way, shape or form." According to the Ravens' official website, Cameron and offensive assistant Craig Ver Steeg will handle the duties previously assigned to Zorn. "I'm disappointed and they know I'm disappointed," Flacco told the Times. "I don't think it was a good decision, and they know that. I expressed that throughout the whole time it was going on, I expressed how much I didn't think it would be good for us. My opinion isn't going to change. "I think Jim was a great coach, I think he was great for our team. I think he was great for me. That's how I feel about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think Jim was a great coach, I think he was great for our team. I think he was great for me. That's how I feel about it." I don't blame him for being pissed. He clearly did better this year than last year and they get rid of his position coach so the "offensive coordinator can have a larger role in Flacco's development." You can have a larger role without firing a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
