Former Redskins coach Zorn may find job in Baltimore

Failing to help the Washington Redskins make it to the postseason, Jim Zorn lost his head coach job in Washington, but still he has the chance to find a new job with another NFL team, like the Baltimore Ravens.

According to The National Football Post, Zorn will have an interview with the Ravens officers for the job of quarterback coach position. That means Zorn may be the one who is always seen with the quarterback in No. 5 Ravens jersey, Joe Flacco, after former quarterback coach Hue Jackson left to become the Oakland Raiders’ offensive coordinator.

I said Zorn has the chance, but not was confirmed, because the Ravens have other names on their interviewee list. Team consultant and longtime NFL coach AI Saunders will also be interviewed for the job.

Jim Zorn is to be fired next week?

According to the Washington Post, the Washington Redskins current head coach Jim Zorn will soon have to look for a new job. A interview with secondary coach Jerry Grady seemed to confirm the rumor that the Redskins will get rid of Zorn soon.

Gray's interview fulfills the team's need to interview a minority candidate for any major position with the club, as the Rooney Rule requires. The rule is named for Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, chairman of the league's diversity committee and was set in 2003.

Those who interviewed Gray included a few bigwigs in the club: owner Dan Snyder and the team's former executive vice president of football operations, Vinny Cerrato. And as a formality, the team’s new general manager Bruce Allen may also interview Gray soon. Whatever the result of the interview may be, the interview itself just showed enough of the team’s intension to have a new head coach. So for all those playing pro football in Redskins jerseys, get ready to be coached by some white guy like Mike Shanahan.

Redskins RB is ruled out for Sunday’s game with concussion

Last Sunday’s hit caused the Miami Dolphins to lose their running back Clinton Portis for this Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. The hit result a concussion and Portis needs more time to get tests and rest.

Portis was hurt in a helmet-to-helmet hit with a player wearing Falcons jersey in the first quarter of Sunday’s 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. His concussion has prevented him from practicing Thursday, and Coach Jim Zorn said they sent the running back home to get rest in accordance with doctor’s orders.

However, Portis is not the only injury concern of the Dolphins. With his absence, the team expects Ladell Betts to start Sunday’s game, but the backup is also nursing some injury and skipped Thursday’s practice. If he is able to play, this Sunday’s game will be his first start since 2006.
