After a week of rumors, counter-rumors, statements from what seemed like every ex-Redskin still in the area (and one ex-Seahawk), and a metric ton of drama, it seemed like nearly everyone assumed head coach Jim Zorn’s tenure was as good as over.

So naturally, executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato started his Inside The Red Zone radio show this week with … a pretty unequivocal endorsement of Zorn.

“Let me start by making a few things very perfectly clear,” he said. “Jim Zorn is the head coach of the Washington Redskins and will for the rest of this season, and hopefully into the future.”

Cerrato also insisted that — despite what some have said — “the relationships internally within the organization quite frankly remain the same,” and acknowledged that everyone in the organization (including the owner) is disappointed for the fans about how the team has performed.

Yeah, that’s exactly what everyone expected today.
