UK Bengal Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Well looking at it now I doubt zim will leave his only option is bucs as no one else has pulled him in for an interview. If they dump Fitzgerald and bring in del rio that will be an improvement Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Well looking at it now I doubt zim will leave his only option is bucs as no one else has pulled him in for an interview. If they dump Fitzgerald and bring in del rio that will be an improvementI wonder if DelRio would go somewhere just to be a position coach. Zimmers a pro. Hell be fine if he remains here. Had they won the division or been on a streak of many successful seasons he might be getting more looks. The clip in the paper today said that Mismi is looking for an offensive minded coach so that is probably the main reason, not any shortcomings on his part. Quote
Sea Ray Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Per PFT zimmer to fins is a done deal contract being finalised.Bengals.com says hes out of running for the phins,Hopefully buccaneers don't take him away.I however wonder though like Skyline said will his heart still be with this job, knowing though that he just wants a HC job?? I hope this year will be his best year here. I still hope that they get Del Rio to come in maybe for a LBs spot or something like that. I still belive this defense needs to be more consistant, so anyway they can help do that i hope they do!If he really wants to be a head coach, the worst thing he can do is slack off as the Bengals DC. If he comes back as DC for us in 2012 I don't see how that can be spun as a bad thing for the team Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Posted January 20, 2012 Zimmer's name now being mentioned in connection with Indy, tho Morningweg seems to be the favorite. Quote
volcom69 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I just wish that something would happen here, either Zim stays or gos, but im getting tired of waiting LOL LOL. Quote
cincyhokie Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I have a feeling Zimmer stays. I also have a feeling we have a monsterous defensive season because Zimmer stays. Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I have a feeling Zimmer stays. I also have a feeling we have a monsterous defensive season because Zimmer stays.I hope he stays too although, I hope he gets a shot soon. This is the year we need to hit a home run om defense with one of these two first round picks. Look at Baltimore's success in drafting game changers in the first round and it's no wonder they are always in the hunt. Ngata...Reed... Suggs. We need someone like that. But I fear we will draft a cornerback strictly on need. Quote

Look at Baltimore's success in drafting game changers in the first round and it's no wonder they are always in the hunt. Ngata...Reed... Suggs. We need someone like that. But I fear we will draft a cornerback strictly on need.Agreed. I mentioned this in another thread. What we do is take the player the Steelers are targeting with one of our first 2 picks. So let's say right now it's Poe, DT out of Memphis.We kill 2 birds with one stone. We piss off the Steelers and become more like them in one move. Simple. Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Sounds like a plan but DT is one of those non-skill positions that MB will not take with a first round pick. Haven't taken one since Big Daddy. I really hope they do this one right. Quote
UK Bengal Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 It's gonna be G if decastro is there RB if Trent is there and some mocks have him there or CB as it is a deep selection with a few top players about. Quote
Sea Ray Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Per PFT zimmer to fins is a done deal contract being finalised.How many times will we read that it's a done deal, our coaches are leaving? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 If he is leaving, I hope it gets done sooner rather than later so we can look at who we can get in to replace him.Honestly, him leaving isn't bothering me as much this season as it would have in seasons past.Jack Del Rio still out there ?? Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 The morning paper said Zim might be up for a second interview in Tampa. Quote
derekshank Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Zimmer was at the Senior Bowl yesterday with the rest of the Bengals coaching staff... so there was a lot of talk that it looks like he'll be staying.But as long as a couple of teams are dragging their feet on hiring a head coach, who knows? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Whatever happens, I hope they figure it out soon so we aren't scraping the bottom of the coaching barrel. Quote

Zim is a no nonsense guy so I can't imagine he'd be ok with being jerked around...all along missing the Senior Bowl, only to find out he's not getting a HC job.He's staying. Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 No reason a team couldn't interview Zimmer at the Senior Bowl.Supposedly the Bucs have called back both Zimmer and Mike Sherman for second interviews, with Sherman thought to be the favorite at the moment. Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 Interesting note buried in walter's coverage of the senior bowl:Sources said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching position has been turned down by six or seven coaches. That includes coaches declining interviews and actual negotiations about the position. Some of the known candidates to say no thanks are Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Philips, new St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and new Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin. Sources said they believe the Bucs are interested in interviewing both of the New York Giants coordinators Perry Fewell and Kevin Gilbride.One of the issues that Tampa Bay has been having is allegedly they are trying to slash the severance packages of the coaches if they are fired, for assistants and the head coach. The Bucs are trying to save money by making changes there, but it is not sitting well with coaches. Last year there were top college assistants making more money than the Bucs assistant coaches.Wow. Talk about a booby prize...stay away, Zim!/>http://www.walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2012rumors.php Quote
volcom69 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Well wont be the colts either as they hire the Ravens DC Chuck Pagano! So looks like the ravens will be looking for a new DC now.Broncos seem pretty interested in Del Rio!So im really hoping this means Zim stays here, the longer this goes the more DC are off the market, and if Coyle leaves for Miami they will have to rebuild the whole defense staff.

HoosierCat Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 And it appears the winner of the booby prize is Rutgers coach Greg Schiano./>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/26/report-bucs-plan-to-hire-schiano/ Quote

cincyhokie Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 And there it is....Zimmer stays in Cincinnati. Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120125/SPT02/301250104/Bengals-coaching-staff-might-new-facesFitzGerald probably gone as LB coach, Coyle is still in the mix in Miami and it appears that Zimmer will be back for his fifth season.Says Marvin, “All my staff is in place except for one open spot right now and we’ll wait and fill it,” Lewis said. “I’m looking at people and it’s my chance to talk to some people that I know and we’ll go from there.” Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I wonder how much of a surprise pick the new LB will be?Will they get someone establised or will it come out of nowhere like the Gruden selection for OC did?If they get someone with some fire and new ideas for how to go about doing things, it would be great. Quote
cHaD711Johnson Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 It sounds like Guenther will be the LB coach and a DB coach will come from elsewhere. Maybe Bowles? That'd be great. Quote
