It's a legit question coz even if Mike returns, he may want to choose his own new defensive coordinator. Besides, there's nothing to suggest Zimm is coming back either way. Remember, MM's DC during his tenure with the Packers was a 3-4 guy.

I still think it will be up to Zimmer if he wants to return or not

I would think knowing this is likely his last shot, Mike would want his own guy. Someone he can count on for the next 3-5 years.
I wonder who it would be on defense, but if he picks an OC is he going to fire shotty, is it going to be someone that's a low key guy so he can still meddle in the offense????

Well, this could also be part of the hold up ........ I'm sure he will need Jerry's approval/blessing on coordinator hires.

Since when do head coaches here get to choose who their coordinators will be?
It's heavily stated in their contracts that Jerry can/will get whomever he wants and eventually the HC will be allowed to fire that coordinator lol

Not sure we want Mike picking his own DC.

If McCarthy is back, Zimmer will be too.

I'm more interested in who the OC will be. Doubt Schottenheimer is brought back. That position needs a new face, whether Mike continues calling plays or not.
