That would be a very interesting hire if it came true. They’ve certainly got the established talent that Zimmer would work well with, but from the reports that have come out it certainly seems like this interview was set up by Jones, not McCarthy. 

Sounds like a Dallas type move.

Well, that would good for Zim too, because he certainly would have free rein over the defense.

Good for Zimmer, but I don’t think I see this ending well. 

Yeah just seemed like he got too old for the league. Maybe focused as a DC will be better for him and Dallas has some talent on defense so it’s not a bad situation. I’m curious to what they do with Parsons. Zimmer was not very creative towards the end of his tenure it felt like.

I’m not worried about Zimmer scheming a good defense. 

But I wonder how well things are going to go behind the scenes. When the news first came out that Zimmer was going to interview for Dallas’ DC job, the initial reports said that Jerry and Stephen Jones contacted and brought in Zimmer for the interview. So, was Zimmer a McCarthy hire? Or was he hired by the Jones’? If it’s the latter, then things could get rocky pretty quickly.
