Al Saunders is gone!

Glad to see him go. His system is so convoluted even he barely understands it most of the time. Zorn helped develop Matt Hasselbeck, and good move by Snyder to go out and get the man behind the offense that knocked us out of the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years. I also like the promotion of Gregg Blache to def. coordinator, that is actually a move FOR continuity. This makes me wonder if Snyder didn't already know what he is doing, and had intended to go after Spagnuolo all along, but just wanted to play with the media to get lots of free publicity. The defense should stay in place as is, and we needed a better, easier, more effective offensive identity anyway, so continuity of system for Campbell wasn't really an option anyway. I think Campbell will thrive under Zorn. Zorn was a very similar QB to Campbell in his playing days; a big armed, inuitive quarterback with a knack for avoiding pressure. If we get Spagnuolo, I will hold my judgement of ol' Danny Boy. A defensive minded head coach coming from a good defense would do a lot to help keep continuity on the team. Plus, Spagnuolo would have an intimate knowledge of the Giants defense and their weaknesses, as well as a good working knowledge of the other NFC East offenses. If we end up with Fassel, I will be expecting a serious Superbowl run out of him in the first year to win me over.
We now have a high profile, control freak owner to match Jerry Jones and round out the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry juggernaut, but the Cowboys have one up, in that Jerry Jones actually played football, and has a sense for what's going on on the field. Danny is a spoiled mama's boy. Danny vs. Jerry. Let's see a celebrity deathmatch!
