THE QUESTION
Midseason Coach Swap

Trade Zorn for Phillips?
Here's a radical solution for the problems in Washington, Dallas and Tennessee: don't fire these head coaches, trade them.

Keep Zorn for Now
The best thing Dan Snyder could possibly do would be to let the 2009 season play out with Zorn still the head coach.

Interim in Vogue
Firing a coach in midseason isn't giving up the future.

Dump Zorn, Keep Fisher
Zorn is getting things taken off his plate -- soon he won't have a plate at all.
