When the GM drafts players without the coach's input, the team has moved on from the coach at that point.

In typical Florio fashion, he says ..

Zimmer confirmed something we’d heard as the 2021 draft began: “The first round, Rick tried to trade up for Justin Fields, who hasn’t done anything.”
The Bears eventually moved from No. 20 to No. 12 to snatch Fields. And it’s unfair and inaccurate for Zimmer to say Fields “hasn’t done anything.” He’s a very dangerous runner. He’s developing as a passer. He could end up being the starter in Pittsburgh, at some point this season.

Zimmer said Fields hasn't done anything .. and he hasn't. Florio of course tries to contradict it while using phrases like "is developing" and "could end up", which are not based on what he has done but simply what Florio thinks he might do one day.

The only thing you can say about Fields is that he's a fast runner, but the NFL is filled with "fast runners".

I can already predict the future. Zimmer was an ******* and didn't know how to get the most out of today's players like Micah. So glad he is gone. Insert xyzcoordinator is really gonna make a big difference.

Rinse repeat every couple of years on Cowboys fanboards.

I don't see how anyone can take a word out of Florios mouth seriously.

As a DC and HC, Zimmer hasn't done anything either. At least Fields has some future in front of him. The only reason Zimmer even has an NFL job is Jerry is "comfortable" with him.

He didn't handle that well....at all. Probably why it took so long for him to get back into the league.
What if those players threw him under the bus with media, FO, etc and got him fired?...I don't know what happened, so I have no right to judge him on that. If you know, please share....
