XFL: Pep Hamilton named HC of XFL DC, Zorn to XFL Seattle

Ben in Tampa : 2/22/2019 9:53 am
joining Bob Stoops in Dallas.

Hamilton was at one time a hot HC candidate in the NFL and a very good offensive coordinator in Indianapolis. Zorn was never any of those things, but WAS a head coach in DC.

... Also, the TV deal is supposed to be announced any day now.
Jim Zorn!

Zorn was the gift that kept on giving with the Skins

Some of his pressers were comedy gold.

Isn't Steve Spurrier also coaching in one of these leagues?

Maybe someone will come up with the idea for an all ex-Skins coaching league. The SFL.

Based on this screen shot I should be in this picture. I might be right next to the Giants fan wearing #72 about 6 rows back from the 19 yard line. We were laughing our asses off.

Wasn't Zorn a rush-hire after the Skins fanbase publicly revolted against a pending Fassel hire?
Zorn was supposed to be his OC IIRC

and got bumped up to HC because of the backlash.
the best part is that he tried to run that TWICE

The first time, the Giants called time out. The teams came back on the field after the TO, and Zorn promptly ran the fake again.

And then Chuck Pagano tried to run the same ludicrous play 5 years later.

Hahaha, I still remember the "Ah, fuck it" look he had on his face when he called the second one.
The XFL is already DOA

#2 to market behind AAF.
- They put all teams in markets that already have pro teams as the AAF put 6 of their 8 teams in new markets.
- AAF secured TV rights on the NFL network. That was huge. Showing the NFL that they weren't there to compete but to supplement.

I just don't see how the XFL will compete unless they merge with AAF at some point.

Plus... There is only do much talent out there. Who is left to play football for XFL?
