I was very surprised at the hire, but I'm willing to give Zorn a chance. He's certainly done a good job in Seattle over the last few years, and the players seem to respect him.

I really don't think Fassel deserves a head coaching job after making such a hash of his last job in Baltimore. Being fired mid-season for having the worst offense in the NFL, only to have that offense experience a renaissance immediately after you leave, doesn't speak well of one's abilities. Add to that the fact that the firing came amid reports that he spent more time networking and griping about other coaches getting head coaching jobs rather than doing his own job, and it's easy to see why he might have been passed up.

Don't waste your sympathy on Fassel. If he'd just done his job in Baltimore, he'd be a head coach somewhere right now.
