Seahawks quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn is leaving Seattle to become the Washington Redskins' offensive coordinator, according to a report on ESPN.com.

Zorn, 54, leaves after seven seasons as Seattle's quarterbacks coach. He was key to the development of Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, with whom Zorn has worked since the two arrived in Seattle in 2001.

Under Zorn's tutelage, Hasselbeck has twice set the franchise record for season passing yards and owns the team mark for most completions in a season. Hasselbeck passed Zorn for second place on the all-time passing-yardage list in November.

Zorn reportedly met with Washington owner Daniel Snyder earlier this week, flying from Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala., to the D.C. area for an interview.

Zorn, the Seahawks' original starting quarterback, played nine seasons with Seattle (1976-84) and was inducted into the Seahawks' Ring of Honor in 1991. Zorn was also the Detroit Lions' quarterbacks coach from 1998 to 2000.
