Zimm's emotional press conference

[Bobhaze]

So just whose way was he doing it? Jerry's?

When your entire organization is dysfunctional because of the delusional owner, you end up with lots of questions like this.

 

[Ranching]

So just whose way was he doing it? Jerry's?

Maybe he listened to the fans that think they know it all....

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

"His way"?

His defense just gave up a 40 burger to Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee.

 

[stiletto]

Loser franchise.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

The main thing I take away from this is that we are a circus. Whether it was Jerrys way, Micah's way, Quinns old way, doesn't matter, it shouldn't have been any way other than Zimmers way. Sounds like it wasn't his choice. Jerry deserves the season he got. We the fans, do not deserve this crap

 

[TwoCentPlain]

You have McCarthy on the brain.

No way was he telling Zimmer how to run his defense any more than he told Quinn how to run his. He's an offensive coach.

Agenda much?
What do Head Coach mean?

Parcells didn't tell his offensive coordinator what he wanted?
Jimmy Johnson didn't tell his coordinators what he wanted?

 

[Risen Star]

Agenda much?
What do Head Coach mean?

Parcells didn't tell his offensive coordinator what he wanted?
Jimmy Johnson didn't tell his coordinators what he wanted?

So the defense we saw with Dan Quinn wasn't his defense? He was just doing what McCarthy told him to do?

Stop.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just thought of this.......Jerry was just praising the hell out of Zimm last week. Calling him one of the DCs in the league but now we hear Zimm saying he's not wanted. The only I can think of is Jerry may wanna move to the 3-4......something many been saying would be better for Parsons

 

[805BoysInBlue]

And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain....

Silly Eagles' fan believes offensive coordinators don't study and know defenses, and defensive coordinators don't study and know offenses.

 

[big dog cowboy]

- Wished he had done things his way earlier in the season and calls it his biggest regret of the year

It's crystal clear who is calling the shots.

It would be impossible to convince anyone it's not Jerry.

"His way"?

imagine thinking a coordinator could make Andrew booth know how to play. That cowboy fan iq showing its ugly head again.

Jebus that is so true.

 

[stilltheguru]

I remember when Jacksonville lit us up. Imagine me blaming Quinn because Kelvin Joseph is cheeks lol. So dumb man

This press conference seems more indicative of knowing that if MM stays, he won’t be back. If MM comes back, it’s probably under the circumstance that he gets his 3-4 defense that he’s always wanted. Just guessing here but zimmer and MM have two different philosophies when it comes to defense and it’s been discussed.

 

[CWR]

Sorry about his fam for sure. But, why didn’t he do things “his” way from the get go. Wasn’t he the frikkin coordinator??

I wonder who was in his ear MM or Jerry? I have to think it's Jerry and MM would deffer more so.

 

[WillieBeamen]

so they hired zimm and basically told him to run a variation of Quinns defense because they were sooo succesful with that defense

Instead of just firing McCarthy and making Quinn the headcoach

 

[ksadler1]

Is he implying he was held back from doing things his way? Also, it seems he wanna return but he's not getting positive feedback from Jerry

I was going to ask what he meant by doing things "his way." I mean if you're being hired as a DC, and you're not allowed to run the D the way you want, why would you even consider the job? I'll be curious to see if the media follows up on this.

A lot to take away from the last presser of the season from Cowboys DC Mike Zimmer:

- Walked off the podium holding back tears explaining why his son, Adam, who passed in 2022 was a big reason why he came back this season

- Said he had “no feelings, really” around his contract status

- Said “someone has to want you” in order for him to return in 2025

- Wished he had done things his way earlier in the season and calls it his biggest regret of the year

Yep! He's gone.

 

[Rayman70]

I think all the staff is gone. Maybe Zugania stays and gets made DC
