Plenty of league observers believe there’s a mystery candidate for the Redskins’ head-coaching job.  Apparently, it’s true.  But it’s not someone who’s not currently working for the team.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, new Redskins offensive coordinator Jim Zorn is under serious consideration to become the team’s next head coach.

Schefter reports that owner Dan Snyder’s jet has picked up Zorn and his family and brought them to Washington.  Zorn declined comment to Schefter, but Schefter separately has confirmed that the search is zeroing in on Zorn.

Zorn, 55, played for the Seahawks from 1976 through 1984.  He spent 1985 with the Packers, 1986 in the CFL, and 1987 with Tampa Bay.  He coached at the college level from 1989 through 1996, returned to the Seahawks in 1997, spent three years with the Lions, and then rejoined the Seahawks in 2001. 

He has never served as a coordinator — with the exception of the past few weeks.

It’s unclear at this point how Zorn has emerged, and whether if he gets the job another offensive coordinator will be hired.
