The Cowboys are expected to hire Mike Zimmer as their defensive coordinator

[Havic]

Boring.

 

[Risen Star]

Get ready for our DL to just "stay in their lane, don't rush the QB you might give up a big play" whenever we play the Eagles or any other running QB.

Be prepared for a crap load of 10 yard cornerback cushions on 3rd and 4 too. This guy talks tough but is really a weak coward.

 

[jwitten82]

I expect our defense to take a step back this season

 

[The Quest for Six]

Love the hire, he's a no nonsense coach that demands accountability

 

[zrinkill]

not sure how the 2 are even connected.

Jerry is still just doing what is comfortable.

DQ did the same thing as far as playing off. Not sure he trusted Bland

I'm sure Quinn demanded accountability too, it's just hard to do when they can run to Jerry

 

[ottawacowpoke]

In fairness to JJ, we don’t know if they wanted to hire someone with more upside but because of Big Mac’s lame duck status couldn’t attract someone like that. I doubt it. But we don’t know for sure.

You’re totally correct. The thing is a competent GM foresees that issue and makes sure that doesn’t happen. Honestly a competent GM doesn’t have a lame duck head coach going into an offseason where the franchise is supposedly going all in. Only in Dallas. What a cluster$&!#% of a front office.

Stale and miserable...I would run through a brick wall for him...

So same crap since the Seattle game lol

Are you surprised? The dude is cray cray. He doesn’t even know what it’s like to win anymore it happened so early for him. And he and his idiot son are fans of Arkansas. Talking about failure…..

Quinn is a players coach, more buddies than a disciplinarian, Zimmer will get into player faces an demand they know the plays and be better prepared......

I hear a lot of whining and know it all negativity about Zimmer, but I don’t see many geniuses naming other young hot shot DCs we should have hired. We are not in rebuild mode, so we were never going to hire a position coach who has never been a coordinator before. Zimmer had good defenses in Dallas and in Minnesota. He had Barr as a rookie LB and used him rushing the QB from all directions. Maybe he went into the interview with a complete and balanced defense and a comprehensive plan for utilizing our personnel, especially Parsons. Maybe McCarthy liked what he heard and is all in.

That‘s ceratainly not the defense he had in Dallas or Minnesota most seasons.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Just in...MIke Zimmer new DC. Love it!!!!! Bet it won't be no I'm tired going on now!!!!!!

The GROZ people are meeting in an Allen hotel and organizing things. They would not allow me access to their meeting.
I am being followed ... will report later

What?

 

[CTcowboy203]

Still has nothing to do with an “all in” strategy when it comes to free agency and trade which is what the context of the question was

 

[Swagger]

What?

 

[mardwin]

His defense was pretty good with the Bengals. When you play in the AFC North you have to be physical.
