Jerry and the Big Flounder ran off Zimmer in his prime with the number 1 defense so Parcells could totally rebuild the defense to his familiar old style 3-4, which he never got done, until he was replaced by Wade, to some degree.

Now Jerry may bring back Zimmer, an old school 4-3 guy to tear down Quinn's gimmicky defense and start from scratch needing new types of player. Totally different philosophies. Gonna take more years to get it on track.

The circle is complete. 

 

I'd be on either team Harris or team Whitt. At least they can work with the players they have, tweak the current system to something less all or nothing, some ideas to have the ability to adjust and slow down the run when teams have their shit figured out. 

I don't think Jerry really understands the current league trend of younger, bright coaches that know the workings of the game beyond the 20th century.

of all the bad candidates... when was the last time rex ryan had an NFL related job?

#1004

Jerry trying to get an interview with buddy Ryan thru Rex.

He’s also interviewing wink Martindale. Another fossil.

I don’t think anyone wants to come here with fat Mike on a one year deal.

Next will probably be JubJub or that Hello Ben car wreck lawyer.

#1005

Yep, nobody who is a good up and comer wants to come to Dallas with a dead man walking as HC. I'd imagine Zimmer and Ryan would be hoping to get a shot as the HC after a mid season firing.

I don't think that's the issue as much as Jerry Jones has no chance of identifying an up an comer.  I don't think a current assistant on a future DC track somewhere is going to turn down the Cowboys DC job because of the HC will soon likely be fired.  His contract is going to get him paid even if a new regime takes over, and if the defense looks good, he's going to easily get another job.  Outside of a few franchises no one really has much HC stability.

Rex fucking Ryan interviewing for dc with Jerry. We already had his brother here fucking up.

You're out here complaining but Jerry is thinking of the big bucks potential of foot massage parlor sponsorships.

#1008

The issue is that Rex is the one massaging your feet..

I don’t think that’s a good business model.

I believe he has a tattoo of his wife wearing a mark sanchez jersey.

The #Cowboys are expected to hire Mike Zimmer as their defensive coordinator, per sources.Zimmer, 67, is the third-winningest head coach in #Vikings history and long respected for his defensive prowess. A big hire for Dallas, where Zimmer previously coached from 1994-2006.

I believe with all of my heart that the Ryan family is the most overrated coaching family in football history.

Thanks, Jerry!

Might as well go hire Campo, Gailey and Norv Turner while you are at it. Get the old band back together and re-live the 90s!

Fuck you.

#1020

Of all the old retreads, Zimmer is the best option. Defense probably wont be bad. Still gonna lose in round 1(if they even make the playoffs).

They put a punt returner in the hall of fame?  3,300 receiving yards and 19 td returns is hall of fame worthy I guess.

Special teams is a pretty important phase of the game, why should they not be eligible for the hall of fame...? Is being the best to ever do something not enough?

Jerry isnt doing that.  That would mean he mad the wrong choice by bringing him back!

If he just puts Parsons back to linebacker who situationally rushes it's already an upgrade. I couldn't believe DQ kept him at DE full time for a 2nd straight year after watching him get worn down by week 12 the season before.

Hester is a hall of famer for sure. Best return man ever. Felt like he'd house it every time.

In 2006 and 2007 when he housed 11 of his 19 return TDs sure.  Over the other 9 years of his career, many of them with a donut hole there (2010 and 2011 were other seasons where he shined) nah.  He accounted for 647 AP yards a season and scored 36 TDs (so 3 and some change a season) over an 11-year career. That doesn't belong in the HOF.

He's the best ever at returning kicks. I think being the best ever to do something at any position is hall of fame worthy.

Does that include long snapper? Holder? Get back coach? So who would contribute more on a team? The great Darren Woodson, or Devin Hester. Woodson should be in the HoF over several of these duds but especially Hester.

I tend to agree with this. Not only wears him down, but limits his amazing ability to use his speed an instincts making plays all over the field. They can disguise his rushes more and keep offenses guessing.

Zimmer's a fucking retread

Stretch bit don't break defensive philosophy.

#1036

Parsons was not served well by DQ basically letting him do whatever the fuck he wanted to do. He overrushes and overpersues in that role and teams just either block him out of the play or run away from him. Hopefully Zimmer uses him more strategically and he gets back to form. He’s not a lineman. And Zimmer will know how to hopefully get Mazi utilized properly. DQ has zero ability to defend the middle of the field.

That was such a fun season.  You could see things were really heading in the right direction.  Beating Chicago at Soldier Field still meant a little something then.

Yep.  The fact that Fat Mike can't even recognize that Micah is a better version of one of his own former players (Clay Matthews) and utilize him in a similar manner is idiotic in and of itself.

HERE WE GO, JIM! SUPER BOWL!

The #Cowboys and Mike Zimmer have agreed to terms. Dallas has its new DC. https://t.co/b1WCTo7Njp

Yes sir.  A female friend and I were looking for an apartment one year.  Long story short, she had the cash and credit score, so she got more of the say-so.  One of the spots we looked at was a block from the field.  I damn near resorted to begging her to pick this spot. I did get a cool pic one time of Troy, Aikman, and Irvin standing side-by-side from about 5 feet back once.  I need to see if I can find that.

Was looking for a navigation app that would let me create a custom guided multi-road route where the app would not deviate from the original map in any way while you're on the road (cough Google Maps).

And I found the map app that Dak uses!

Well, I was on the 40 in the mid-90's.  Not everyone can be prestigious enough to make the "Chicks over 40...." thread.
