LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – Washington Redskins Executive Vice President/General Manager Bruce Allen announced early Monday that Jim Zorn has been dismissed and will not return as the franchise’s coach in 2010. Allen said Zorn was informed of the decision shortly after the team returned from its 23-20 loss to the San Diego Chargers Sunday.
Allen said his three-week game and preparation observations made the decision clear.
“The status quo is not acceptable. I felt it was necessary to not waste a moment of time to begin building this team into a winner,” Allen said.
Allen will hold a press conference in the Redskins Park auditorium at 12:30 p.m. ET.
