walzav29 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 I'm going to assume two more NFL teams will not be stupid enough to pass up on Zimmer. The question is who comes in? This is a delicate matter because the defense appears to be a tight unit, and I'd imagine there would be alot of "Zim wouldn't do it this way!" if they brough in an outsider. It would have to be from within, but not sure who the best candidate would be. Quote

Scottishbengal Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 [ Get the best man for the job. Period.Totally agree. However I'd really really like Zimmer to stay as IMO he is the best man for the job. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Lovie Smith ?? A 4-3 defensive minded coach.He would want to much for the Bengals to pay. Quote
skyline Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Lovie Smith ?? A 4-3 defensive minded coach.He would want to much for the Bengals to pay.Yeah, that'd be a great hire, but I'm sure he ends up as a head coach somewhere. Quote

cHaD711Johnson Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Lovie or Ray Horton. I can't see both of them getting HC jobs with the openings that are left. Seems like Zona would've hired Horton by now if they thought that he was the guy. Quote
UK Bengal Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Lovie and marvin are friends so u never know but would perfer zim to stay Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Zimmer, schmimmer. I'm more concerned about what happens if Gruden leaves. But I just saw that the Jags s**tcanned Mike Mularkey. That means a certain offensive coordinator could be available real soon... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 I don't think Gruden is going anywhere. I could be wrong, but I don't think it happens.On the flip side, I would put my money on Zimmer going to the Chargers.Another team I think he would have success with. Quote

I don't mean to get all Hannibal Lecter on you but the guy is 40 years old from upstate New York. I don't see him wanting to deal with a strong personality like Zimmer who's older. I don't see Zimmer wanting to listen to some snot nosed punk. Plus his background hasn't ran across Zimmer so he would be more inclined to get someone he's familiar with. Just theories. Cleveland has me nervous. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 It's all good, no worries.I just look at teams specifically and what I think would do them well.It's the same reason I think he'd do wonders in Philly. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 In other news. Gresham makes pro bowl.Great, another pro bowl for a TE coming time for a new contract.Shouldn't a two-time pro bowler be more clutch than what we've gotten out of this first round pick ??Marvin seems to be in love with him though, so I guess there isn't much to say.Honestly, I really hope each and every week that Gresham will finally put it all together on a consistent basis.

walzav29 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 Looks like 40 year old Mike McCoy is getting the job in San Diego. Where next for Zimmer? Quote
cincyhokie Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 I don't think that Zimmer is getting hired as a HC. He's coming back, IMO... Quote
BengalByTheBay Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 I don't think that Zimmer is getting hired as a HC. He's coming back, IMO...While I'm thrilled to have Zimmer back for next season, a part of me is dumbfounded by the fact that nobody has hired Zimmer yet. He must be just as warm & cuddly in job interviews as he is the rest of the time. Quote
cincyhokie Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 I'm more than ok with Zimmer coming back. I am also more than ok with Gruden leaving and Hue coming in as OC. We'll see if that happens. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 How could anyone NOT want Zimmer to come back. It's not like the defense sucks or continuity is bad.Nothing but good for the Bengals.He must drop F bombs during the interview... Quote
Sea Ray Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 I honestly think he comes across like Buddy Ryan; a hard core guy who makes an excellent coordinator but not such a good head coach. By that same token if Gruden gets a HC job, it'll be because they feel he'll make a better head coach than coordinator Quote

ArmyBengal Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I feel bad for Zim from the standpoint of his success in the league and think he would be a good head coach.Another thing working against him is that most of the teams in need of a HC seem to be looking for offensive minded guys.For obvious selfish reasons, i'm glad he's going to be back minus someone else giving him a look see.

HoosierCat Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Trestman to da Bears. I join those who think Zim is getting the shaft. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Trestman to da Bears. I join those who think Zim is getting the shaft.A CFL coach over Zimmer ??Craziness, but the Bears are one of those teams who were looking for an offensive minded coach.He's a QB guy and has a history with Cutler. Offensive minded ?? Check.Zimmer never had a chance getting the Bears job. Quote
