it would wow us if he would keep his mouth shut and just do the work. Last off season they made QUIET moves, I actually fell in love with jerry for a few months!! lol
You know Jerry by now. He craves the limelight and he is going to keep himself in the middle of the attention. But we can't yet judge this offseason. It may not be any different than other off seasons, but the time to judge that is still several months away.

ok but let's keep that same energy for our new DC we don't know how he's going to be, everyone is going of what he was, and what they want in a DC to be rah rah rah and stuff

I'm not sure what splash would have made us fans happy or impressed. A lot of us could care less about jerry splish-splashing and trying to rev up fan happiness. Just give us a guy that will do everything in his power to get this team better on defense. My question is, did the splash surprise you, was it what you expected, did you expect a bigger name?? Please give your thoughts
No splash expected.
Just another jerruh lie.
Its endless.

Here’s my question.

Was any other team pursuing our new DC?
This late in the coaching carousel, I doubt it. Dallas always slow walks these things, which is how we end up with the table scraps, including the staff. Like I said before, we hired Rex Ryan Lite with Zimmer. I wish we would have called Vrabel at least and kicked the tires. Jerry is stuck in the 90's like many fans. Hes trying to run it back to the 90's by hiring a guy like Zimmer that was there. He doesn't understand the game on the field has evolved, as well as the players and how they need coached differently. This better work or it will get very ugly in Frisco. We may see a bloodletting staff wise and player wise like we haven't seen in decades. Since the 89-91 timeframe where we witnessed massive turnover and change. Maybe its what we need.

How is that different than with any other DC the team could have hired? You never know for certain until it is seen how things play out. But it's not as if a past history of success as a coordinator wouldn't be a legitimate factor to consider when hiring.

As for fan energy, surely you've noticed all the attention this topic is getting on this thread. Your thread included. But the reality is, hiring a coordinator will never get the same reaction from fans as acquiring a big time player. That's not unique to Cowboy fans.

Player acquisitions. We’ll see what he does with free agency and the draft. Even possible trades. Filling the holes on the roster.
yup,,, I've got no problem with hiring Zim given the current lame duck situation, and he should be fine as DC provided that Jerry gives the proper love to the defense and the OL. Thats where the splash matters.

Looks like just another comfortable decision by Jethro .

Actually - yes.

I expected Jerry to grab a retread HC just like Quinn was to run the defense. A lot of people did.

Broaddus has said it on the radio many times that Jerry enjoys it when people that work for him on staff are not comfortable. Mike can't be comfortable with the hire.
