And Snyder’s mistreatment of his employees continue. Most owners would wait until after they fire a coach to hire his replacement, but not Snyder. Why fire Zorn now and name an interim coach when you can continue to embarrass him publicly? This team will never be winners with Snyder because it will never be a team – it is always every man for himself.

Does this mean the end of Rob Dibble?

Unfortunately, I believe Dibble’s back as well. Not that Carpenter and Taylor are any better.
