The Facts: Jim Zorn has had a rough few years. Fired by the Redskins after being neutered via the hiring of "consultant" Sherm Lewis, who traded in bingo-calling for play-calling, and then fired after a year with the Ravens as quarterbacks coach, Zorn recently was passed over for a promotion to offensive coordinator in Kansas City after a year as quarterbacks coach. And while the Chiefs weren't willing to give Zorn permission to interview with the Bears for a lateral move, they now seem to be resigned to letting him walk away.

Diehards Line:Perhaps it has something to do with the fact Zorn reportedly issued an ultimatum to be promoted to the coordinator position or else he would leave the Chiefs. On Tuesday, HC Romeo Crennel indicated that Zorn might have other opportunities but that he's planning for Zorn, to return. "I hope that Jim stays," Crennel said. "I know that any time you're interviewed for the coordinator job, you have hopes of getting it, and it didn't work out for him here at this time. But I told Jim that I wanted him to stay and hoped that he would stay. And I expect him to stay. I don't know what else might happen for him, but if nothing happens for him, then I expect him to be there. ..." Stay tuned.
