1 performance? What about the year prior when he was the only dc to slow down that 49ers offense that was averaging 35 ppg with Purdy.
The year before that Jimmy g marched down the field on his defense too. He's an average coordinator. Shocked you in here capping for dude. He better hope daniels is good enough to make up for him being a mid coordinator
Was our coverage an illusion???Great article on the Cowboys defense under Zim. It's pretty clear from watching the games he isn't the answer we hoped. Reading this, it's worse than it seems. Considering the upcoming schedule, it could be rough watching our team.
Mike Zimmer's coverage philosophy just isn't working for the 2024 Cowboys

It's always tough to make a one-to-one comparison between coaching staffs in the NFL. From year to year, so much changes about team personnel that it's sometimes tough to pinpoint what changed philosophically or what changed out of necessity.
Take the Dallas Cowboys for instance. Last year's starting cornerback tandem of Stephon Gilmore and Daron Bland have played zero snaps for the team in 2024. Can a change in the way the secondary schemes be tethered to a necessary change with Trevon Diggs return and a fifth-round rookie in Caelen Carson playing opposite him? Or is it more about Mike Zimmer implementing what has always been a much different philosophy when it comes to coverages than his predecessor Dan Quinn?

Didnt he take a team to a Super Bowl and embarrass Mike McCarthy in the process?
That defense was self policed. You think that was Quinn masterminding that? next you gonna tell me marvin Lewis was responsible for 2000 ravens. Why have marvin or Quinn been able to even come close to replicating that success? You smarter than hyping up Dan Quinn. I think Zimmer is slightly better as a DC by the way. Zimmer never had a legion of boom. And Quinn did NOT create them
I kinda new things weren't going to work out. Dan Quinn was and is better than Zimmer. I always thought that.Great article on the Cowboys defense under Zim.

You thought that because of Seattle? It'd not like dallas was a legit top 5 defense in his tenure so I'm not understanding this Quinn love. This my last comment in here. Sign a Shanahan guy after Mccarthy is gone so Quinn can be a non factor. Simple
Rex Ryan
Quinn was PART of that fiasco.
*Maybe* we'll show that Quinn just basically screwed up Mazi, and thereby the run defense. Mazi had his first good game, and it was a great one. A seeming miracle after last year.
Great question Creeper, where was Quinn's brilliance then? Hmmm??
He was. His defenses here also did a great job at creating turnovers and rushing the QB. The DC we have now doesnt do that at all. Micah before the injury was on pace for his worst season.
Zim won more playoff games at MIN than Big Mike in Dallas.
I read a couple of nuggets of talks inside The Star that he wasn't coming back this season. Word is they had mutually agreed even if he didn't get an HC offer, Jerry was going to let him out the final year of his contract to pursue another DC job. Not sure many fans caught it but MM and FO never committed to him returning while he was interviewing for HC jobs. During a presser, MM only response was we will let Q interviews play out and see what happens when the process is over. He had a good relationship with the players but I think Jerry blamed him and MM for the GB collapse ( Q is gone and he refused to give MM an extension ) core players are still getting their bags.
Damn I ever heard that…..wonder why though? Just the debacle in GB?
And now that Parsons and Lawrence are out it can only get worse for Zimmer. Who remembers how bad this defense was before Parsons was drafted?
Remember 2023 Q took his name off the interviewing cycle early and committed to the Cowboys. Although we lost 2022 playoff game to the 49ers, he was still a strong candidate for 2023 HC jobs but the GB collapse cost him a bit. The Commanders were the only team to make him an offer and he wasn't their 1st choice. Honestly, what I sense from the nuggets........after the GB lost, Jerry was pissed and Q was tired of all the BS from Jerry and Stephen, especially knowing they were going to extend MM. So they both were ready to move on........
