Twitter: Mort - Zimmer does not want to come to Dallas even if fired

[32BellyOption]

And if you're an idiot you'll believe that.

Of course Zimmer is probably saying that to those in the Minny organization as he wants to show loyalty as he hopes the Vikings reciprocate in kind by bringing him back even if they get trounced today. If he’s out of work and Jerry calls he’ll answer on the first ring.

Imagine you're the new head coach and right off the top you have to take Prescott as your QB and Jones as your GM, or you don't get the job.

Not to mention whatever assistant coaches still under contract getting shoved down your throat.

 

[Pantone282C]

No you're supposed to believe that an out of work Mike Zimmer would turn down the head coach position of the Dallas Cowboys.

Some people are dumb enough to do so.

I bet Dallas isn't the only team interested in him. Having said that, he would be tired of coaching to turn any head coach position down. He might possibly take an assistant position somewhere. Wouldn't really blame him if he did turn us down though.

Assuming the likely that he loses today and gets fired, he will have plenty of time to set up an interview with the Giants. That would be almost as good as Garrett coaching the Giants.

 

[Risen Star]

He’s 64 and has a farm he loves in Kentucky. It’s possible he’d n it more enjoyable to retire than deal with this circus if he feels it’s unwinnable.

See, I told you.

There's more of them too.

 

[Verdict]

If I were him, I wouldnt either. The GROZ crowd was relenless, and I still cant believe JJ picked Campo over him..Ill never get that seaworld hard knocks episode out of my brain.

Campo swimming with the dolphins was an epic fail.

 

[EST_1986]

Please. Each time THE Dallas Cowboys have had a head coaching vacancy, every great available coach was just dying to be in Dallas.

I mean just look at these names who have interviewed over the years who didn't get the job:

George Seifert, Terry Donahue, Sherman Lewis, Norv Turner, Mike Singletary, Jim Caldwell, Ron Rivera, Todd Bowles, Todd Haley, Tony Sparano.

Wait.

Really missed out on being part of the Terry Donahue era

 

[Pantone282C]

There's more of them too.

There are indeed. Let's hope Dallas isn't the odd man out in musical chairs.

 

[CATCH17]

I hope that is true. Because I don't want him back.

Same.

It’s more likely that he just wants to end these conversations and keep his team focused.

These coaches all lie when it comes to their job interests.

No you're supposed to believe that an out of work Mike Zimmer would turn down the head coach position of the Dallas Cowboys.

Some people are dumb enough to do so.

But wouldn't the PC thing be to say something like "I love it here in MN, and I'm 100% concentrated on this game," rather than to put down Dallas?

Either Mort made up the quote, or Zimmer meant what he said.

BTW, he's an upgrade over Garrett, but he's not that good (IMO).

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Guess he’s been to this circus already and didn’t like the clowns.

LLLOOOLLL

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Might as well just do it Jerry and come out of the shadows!

 

[Mr_437]

Good for Zim, but he gon take a L today.

 

[Lutonio]

After his Vikings get detonated in the next 20 minutes, I don't think many people will want him.

 

[Stash]

I don't doubt that for a second.

 

[panchucko]

I could believe he wouldnt want to come back
He knows how it is with the Jones’s in charge

 

[Alexander]

Really missed out on being part of the Terry Donahue era

It actually was almost a done deal. He spent the night at Jones' mansion, his family was bought plane tickets for the press conference and Jones even bought him tickets to the upcoming Indianapolis Combine.

That is until Donahue saw the contract, the money and some of Jones' stipulations.

Then he was like

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Can't be. Nobody would refuse to come to the circus.

jimmy Johnson found the pursuit of wahoo far more enjoyable than coaching in the nfl. if the vikes were dumb enough to release zimmer, he would be pursued by many other teams. he'd we willing to sit out a year rather than coach for the cowboys who rejected him before. some think Callahan would coach here, too. I doubt it. I suspect that in the end, we will settle for a hc, rather than choose who we want. and for that we can thank jerry.
