Has Anyone Heard that Ron Zook is Going to the NFL?

Steve Spurrior resigns:



""I am announcing my resignation as head coach of the

Washington Redskins effective today, December 30, 2003.



""I thank Dan Snyder for the opportunity to coach this

team for the past two years and I apologize to Redskins fans

that we did not achieve a level of success that we had all

hoped.



""This is a very demanding job. It's a long grind and I

feel that after 20 years as a head coach, there are other

things that I need to do. I appreciate all the support,

especially from former Redskins players in the area and

again, I wish we would have come closer to the success those

players enjoyed under Coach Joe Gibbs.



""There are many outstanding players on the Redskins team

and I wish them all the best. I'll always be pulling for the

Redskins. I simply believe that this is the right time for me

to move on, because this team needs new leadership. Hiring a

new head coach will allow him to hire a new coaching staff

and hopefully point the Redskins in the right direction.



""I've enjoyed my time in Washington. Obviously, all of

the losing can wear you down, but I believe that the

franchise is headed in the right direction. Again, I'll

always be pulling for the Washington Redskins.''
