I think the "Dallas Connection" is a little overblown. Yes, Zimmer and Ireland worked together in Dallas, but that shouldn't be viewed as something negative with Zimmer or Ireland. Not hiring him because of that reason or being upset about it because of that reason is a bit dramatic. Zimmer has coached with the Falcons and Bengals since working for Dallas, yet some jump straight to the "Dallas Connection". Come on.
Some of you know that lately I have said that Toub would be my first choice, but I have also said Zimmer would be my next choice. Like Toub, he is viewed greatly by his current fan base and people throughout the league. I think it was Peter King last week that said Zimmer would be a better hire than Fisher. We will have to see about that, but he does seem like a quality candidate. Wouldn't be surprised if Zimmer is hired that Miami could still target Toub for a spot on the staff.
