The Washington Redskins fired Coach Jim Zorn Monday morning, ending Zorn's two-year stint that began with his surprising elevation from an obscure quarterbacks coach and finished with a dismissal that seemed inevitable after the Redskins' four-win season.

Zorn, 56, didn't comment after he returned from his team's trip to San Diego, where it lost the season finale 23-20 to finish 4-12, the team's worst record in 15 years. He finished his tenure 12-20, and had one year left on his contract.

"The status quo is not acceptable," General Manager Bruce Allen said in a statement. "I felt it was necessary to not waste a moment of time to begin building this team into a winner."

The team will hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m., when Allen will discuss the decision. The Redskins could be preparing to name Zorn's replacement soon. In December, Washington forced out longtime front office executive Vinny Cerrato and announced the hiring of Allen within two hours, putting in motion the overhaul of the franchise's infrastructure after a 10-year period that featured just two playoff appearances.
