Of course. Even for a team that has found new ways to crush our souls every year this was a next level kick in the junk, followed by a wet willy while we lay there in our own vomit, conclusion to the year....

 

[fivetwos]

Has anyone seen anything on the length of the contract? Is it actually only one year?

Sadly it’s a huge factor as to what his role may be after the upcoming season.

Maybe we all will later on, if the go all in as they say in FA and the draft.

Right now can't get excited until all of that starts. As we all are still cheese shocked for that playoff loss.

Yup. Only speaking for myself, I will need to see them beat SF in the regular season before I take them seriously. Just hard to think of a team historically with a lame duck coach thats done anything special. Especially after that aggravated assault GB put on them. Sure feels like 2010 following the playoff pounding in Minnesota.

Wow I am super pumped about next year now.

than dont..

 

[blueblood70]

well, we have no idea if this move replacing dan Quinn with zimmer will be good or bad or maybe just an even swap BUT i am glad a new voice on that side of the ball has arrived and just maybe because Jerrys comfortable with Zim as they go way back Zim will make few suggestions at LB and DT that effect FA and the draft in positive way.

Can’t take this team serious until the playoffs..

3 12 win season and 0 post season success.

SMH…bringing in a new DC only to keep the current scheme mostly intact…that’s next-level genius Jerry!
The Eagles get Vic Fangio, the Giants get Shane Bowen and the Cowboys, who are going all-in this year go out and get Mike Zimmer. Championship!

 

[bewp7]

blah blah blah

zimmer cant do any thing with every one bff mccarthy and bff jerry saying it is ok to play soft and stupid

Deduct the teams we played with under a .500 record at the time we played then and tell me how great those seasons were.
Come playoff time when few dogs are to be found what did we accomplish again??????????????
This 12-5 song is getting old and useless as the playoffs are the proof of the pudding.

He didn't say that, did he? To me, it just sounded like he's not gonna do something totally different, like switch to a 3-4 or something like that. In this league, the defense needs to be able to operate in a lot of different formations and personnel subbing.

Quinn implemented that quite a bit. Too much. But you can't say it didn't work a large part of the time. Zimmer is going to have his idea of how to do things but he's not going to completely dump what has worked.

I feel sorry for you.

 

[GMO415]

No one gives a crap. Will they make the playoffs and how far will they go?

 

[john van brocklin]

I feel sorry for you.

Thanks, I feel sorry for me too.....

Lol, I love it, this describes it exactly.

His press conference made me extremely sad. He sounded like the dozens of nearing-retirement engineers I interview every year that are just trying to find a safe haven job to coast into retirement. I got no sense that he came into that interview knowing who half of the defensive players were, and had not even begun crafting a vision for the defense (which I would assume is an interview question for the DC role).

In short, I feel like a buddy on a short leash hired another buddy with few prospects so that they can protect one another from getting fired

I do actually like the assistant coaches he’s bringing in though
