*OFFICIAL* Jim Zorn Fired (merged)

[beamish]

Made official at 7:40 am by Bruce Allen.

One other note - Zorn was not escorted out. He simply left with his administrative assistant. That's better than the earlier reports.

glad to hear it -- i take back what i said, danny...

Actually, being escorted out is getting to be pretty common these days. When the company I work for closed their office here in Dallas and let all but 5 us go, they had guards at all the doors to check employees stuff as they left and to make sure no one got out of hand with the folks sent in to handle the terminations. So this doesn't surprise me at all.

neo, it's supposed to be a team, not a company. would you want to see a damn security guard escorting coach buges out when his time is up?

I didn't say I liked it, beamish. I just noted that it is becoming more common these days.

And I would argue that it is a company. Granted, their business is winning but the Redskins are a company.

Of course, the point is mute now anyway since we have learned that it was just Zorn's administrative assistant and not a security guard.

i know, neo, it's just a sore spot with me since i've been escorted from my former workplace after ten years of loyal service.

yes, the Washington Redskins are definitely a for-profit entity -- that's why i never refer to them as my redskins anymore.

Sorry it couldn't work out, Jim. I'm sure there's a place for you in the NFL. I guess it just wasn't here.

I wish nothing but the best to the Zorn family.
