Per Calvin Watkins.

Would be a good hire for us; he was an assistant on the last coaching staff to win a Super Bowl and obviously can coach defense.

As a Head Coach, yes. If Dallas hired him he’d be one of the best DC’s in the league again.

Minnesota defensive ranks through Zimmer’s tenure (2014-2021)

1st in Defensive 3rd Down Conversion %
2nd in TDs Allowed
2nd in Passing Completion %
3rd in Rushing TDs Allowed
4th in Defensive EPA/Play
4th in Sacks on Defense
6th in Passing Yards Allowed
6th in Passing TDs Allowed
7th in Points Allowed
7th in Passer Rating Allowed
8th in Yards Allowed

Where's he been the past 2 year?

And don't get me wrong, I like Zimmer. I just think the league has passed him by.

He would, at worst, have a pretty good defense. At best, an elite defense. I think he's a high floor guy and a good hire.

Taking time off after coaching the vikings for so long. I don't think the game has passed him by.

He always had good to great defenses. Plenty of teams would love to have Zimmer.

Also, he lost his son to alcoholism in Oct2022. I bet he could have had DC jobs if he wanted, but after losing a son, he probably needed time off.

He’s a better DC than Dan Quinn.

This would be a solid hire.
