According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the clock for Redskins head coach Jim Zorn might tick faster as Washington approaches its bye week on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Some NFL executives are pointing to the week before the bye as a logical time for Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to fire Zorn if the team does not have a sudden and dramatic turnaround.
Washington's next game is Sunday against Tampa -- the sixth straight winless team the Redskins will play -- before the Monday nighter against the Eagles. If the 2-3 Redskins continue to struggle, many believe that the bye week would be an ideal time for the increasingly impatient and itchy Snyder to shake up his franchise.
By acting so quickly, Snyder would have a running head start to interview Mike Holmgren, Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Brian Billick -- or any other sidelined coach. Washington also has some potential interim candidates on staff it could interview -- defensive coordinator Greg Blache and secondary coach Jerry Gray.
