I thought I heard that the regular OC had a family situation so Zorn took over play calling. Problem is Zorn knows one system/terminology and his OC uses another. It’s like one knows English but has to call the plays in French because that is what the rest of the team learned.

LOL The second start up league in two years to go belly up. Figures.

I have my own opinion about all of this but I'm keeping my mouth shut.

They didn't go belly up, they halted the season due to the coronavirus.

Hope to see you next year XFL. Hope some guys get good looks from the NFL. Thanks for the coaches being mic’d up. I figured out some of JJ’s terminology 🤗

So did I. Although unlike 2001, they didn't do it to themselves. I also don't think it was doomed from the start as it was in 2001. But I feel for June Jones.
