The Facts:
Zorn was fired by the Washington Redskins early Monday, the first step in yet another team overhaul under owner Dan Snyder. “The status quo is not acceptable,” general manager Bruce Allen said in a statement released by the team. “I felt it was necessary to not waste a moment of time to begin building this team into a winner.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Zorn was informed of his dismissal shortly after the team returned to Redskins Park following Sunday’s season-ending 23-20 loss at San Diego. Zorn went 12-20 over two seasons, but he lost 18 of his last 24 games after a 6-2 start in 2008. The Redskins struggled early despite a weak schedule this season and finished 4-12, their worst record since 1994. Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is considered the favorite to replace Zorn.
