Steve Largent Rips Dan Snyder
Hall of Famer Steve Largent ripped Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder for stripping coach Jim Zorn of playcalling duties.
Steve Largent, a hall of fame wide receiver and friend and former teammate of Jim Zorn, said Tuesday on a radio show that Zorn considered resigning as head coach of the Washington Redskins after he was stripped of playcalling duties by owner Daniel Snyder, reports ESPN.
Largent said on the radio show in Seattle, "I think what Dan Snyder was trying to do was to force Jim to resign so he was not liable for his contract any longer. Jim just isn't going to do that."
Playcalling was handed over to Sherman Lewis, 67, who less then a month ago, was calling Bingo games at a retirement home in Detroit, reports USA Today. The Redskins are coming off a 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. They are 2-4 for the year.
