Not selected On ESPN’s Super Bowl LVIII pregame programme, Colorado football defensive coordinator candidate Rex Ryan questioned Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, a man he was running against for the position.
“Let me start by being very honest: I don’t think Zimmer is the best candidate for the job at this time. Ryan stated, “I’m not really sure about that” (c/t The New York Post). “To be completely honest, I don’t think that’s true at this time.
“But I would say this: If I’m going to go back into coaching, I want to be on this stage [at the Super Bowl].” This is why I phoned Mike McCarthy after a seven-year hiatus. I have never called another head coach or anything like. I believe that offensively, special teams, and defence can all succeed with this squad as is. I just felt I could add a little something to each position. That is the reason I was curious.
Jerry Jones reportedly wanted unchosen Colorado football DC candidate Mike Zimmer for Cowboys
If the Cowboys aren’t able to finalise the signing of Zimmer as their defensive coordinator, it will become very complicated because owner Jerry Jones intervened directly in the hiring process.
“Since his NFL debut in 1994, Zimmer has shared a special relationship and trust with the Jones family. and served as the team’s defensive coordinator for the last seven seasons of Zimmer’s stint here, and remained with the team until 2006 despite working under four different head coaches,” Cowboys Country’s Mike Fisher said before posing the question. Jones Jerry. Early in this process, CowboysSI.com indicated that the team owner would be involved in decision-making. And this instance definitely supports it.
“Someone might refer to this as’meddling.'” However, it’s typical in Dallas. Over the years, there have been changes in head coaching here, and Zimmer has profited from that. And when friend Mike Nolan, hired with complete blanche by current coach Mike McCarthy, didn’t pan out in the first year? McCarthy was assisted in selecting Quinn by the front office.”
You can be sure that Ryan won’t be working for Jones’ Cowboys very soon if he said that on national television without providing any assurances that Zimmer wasn’t hired.
