He isn't my choice, but to be fair, after a rough start and a ton of injuries the unit has played much better down the stretch. They just held a good offensive team to just 20 points.
Zimmer defense has the CBs play way too soft, 10 to 15 yd passes are a given to their opponents.

I disagree, they went into last search wanting an experience HC, not a 1st time HC who has to learn on the job like Jason Garrett did. Cowboys job will always be attractive cause of the national

What makes Zimmer so great???????? What has he done here?????????? The Cowboy's defense reeks just as bad as it did when it faced GB in the playoffs, nothing has changed, NOTHING! He was supposed to be the next great defensive mind to come in and fix what has been ailing this defense and all we've gotten are shots of him on the sideline with a pitiful look on his face that says, " What did I get myself into?".
Agreed…Zim’s defense looks good only against poor teams; against the better teams the defense gets exposed.
No excuse for injuries either…the Lions lost just as many, if not more defensive players to injury than the Cowboys, and Detroit’s defense is still competitive.

Certainly helps when they have an elite offense to lean on.

If Zimmer replaces McCarthy the fan base will become even more demoralized. I can’t think of a hire that would create less excitement than Zimmer being named the head coach. It would be reminiscent of when Dave Campo was announced as the head coach.
I wouldnt be surprised at all.

Its the new Dallas Cowboys: Bums Galore!

Let the crap stick around.

No offense. But when did this defense look good against bad teams?

The giants hung 20 on them. The giants!

To me it seems people are so used to mediocrity they think we are good if we are able to hang around with bad teams. No wonder so many are drinking JJs Kool Aid every year believing we are contenders.

Dont put on the anointing oil unless we win something meaningful. Which we did not in the last 30 years.

We are a bad team from top to bottom.
