Cowboys to meet with Zimmer

[DuncanIso]

Well who do you take?

Rivera? Ran out of town
Staley? Had a few interviews and remains unemployed
Zimmer? Hasn’t coached in two years

Its a crap sandwich regardles.

Zimmer is the inside favorite.

Plus he's been HC. If/When Big Mike has to go, Zimmer takes over.

It's probably his job if he wants it.

my preference still is Al Harris but i dont know if he is even a candidate or whether he wants the job.

Zimmer is 68. But since Jerry is 81 he probably thinks we are getting young blood with Zim.

Al should still be here next year. Diggs, Bland, Hooker etc are very pro Harris.

I can't see what all the hoopla is about on this guy. Get somebody young and good that wants to go nowhere but up.

I agree but you’re forgetting the number one qualifier….is Jerry comfortable.

There are coaches out there that would never work in Dallas, despite what they may say publicly. Zimmer isn’t one of them, I’m sure he wants some retirement money, and at this point, Jerry is probably the only one that would hire him.

It makes too much sense to not happen, and this organization will continue to have inferior coaching due to Jerry wanting to be the man and do and say whatever he wants and be a celebrity. It’s disgusting.

Take a listen to this, maybe you'll see why I'm against Zimmer.

I Completely Disagree.. Our DF Needs To Play Mad = Zimmer... We Don't Need Dan "Queen" a Body Body With Players Style Of Play

 

[EenonyMoose]

If Whitt leaves and Zimmer is hired, I wonder if he'll try to bring in Roy Anderson from Seattle to coach the secondary?

“Tough Love”

 

[_sturt_]

Get somebody... good.

Your post is too long... shorten it, and you've got it, spot on.

Age doesn't matter.

Wants to go up (ostensibly b/c they've never been "up")... not actually a plus. Potential means you haven't done it, but you might.

This isn't a team in a developmental stage that you should make anything a priority beyond "Is there substance/evidence/reason that suggests he is more likely than not to be successful."

Period.


And. Here's some substance/evidence/reason... icymi...

Do you prefer him to Wink Martindale as well?
It was just reported that he‘s in the mix.

 

[Deionindahood]

Last time Zimmer coached was 2021. He should have fresh legs and a fresh mind.

Yes, It Was Just Reported By Fish On SI

That’s just Fish spewing garbage.

Love Martindales aggression. But people would lose it here blitzing every down

DON MARTINDALE, NEW YORK GIANTS
Martindale may have moved from Baltimore to New York for his defensive coordinator duties, but his aggressive nature and play calling remained intact — and successful. No team in the NFL last year played more Cover 0 or Cover 1 (man coverage) than the Giants. Their coverage and pass-rush units were in sync, yielding 136 pressures and 24 sacks while in man coverage. At 60 years old and with 18 years of NFL experience, Martindale is still dialing it up with the best of them.

Martindale landed just behind Steve Spagnuolo of the Kansas City Chiefs (5) and two spots behind Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn (4).

Spagnuolo, of course, won Super Bowl XLII with the Giants before departing for a head coaching job.

Wink has too strong of a personality for Jerry imo. Zimmer is fiery too but the jones know him. Don’t think martindale gets the gig

 

[DCBoysfan]

I’m warming up to Mike Zimmer as a defense coordinator.

In addition to his vast pro experience he also spent a couple of years with Deion

at Colorado, so he should be familiar with some of the college offenses that are being used in the NFL.

 

[CTcowboy203]

So broaddus is saying wink is in the mix and fishers just parroting that. Broaddus is hit or miss although he’ll talk about his “gang of 7” ad nauseam

I like how we don't even bother trying anymore.
