After seeing the post of several Finheaven posters who know about Zimmer and his scheme's, I got excited too ... I was not happy about Fisher he scared me, with his total control demands!!!Maybe it's because I know less about him than Fisher, but I'm a helluva lot more excited by the prospect of Zimmer being our HC!. While I don't have the problems some others do with Ireland, I'd still rather we started from scratch than have any residual smell of tuna; however like it or not, Ireland looks to be here to stay so why not get a highly respected, top performing , fresh thinking coordinator who can work well with him? IMO sure beats a mediocre tired HC having control issues as an overreaction to his last team's frustrations, (which regardless, he kept re-upping for.).
That was true of Sparano. They continued to play hard for him all the way till the end. If they didn't care about Sparano this team would have quit on him a long time ago.
Whether the defense loves playing for him or not is an overvalued, overstated aspect of a coach. Tom Coughlin has been known as a militant guy, hard nosed and at times very difficult to get along with...and he's won a super bowl and now he's headed to another NFC championship game.
Todd Haley comes to mind.Still most overused phrase on the site. How often do players all hate their coach and teams look at that guy
Baalke didn't know Harbaugh personally before he hired him. Jim Harbaugh took that job cause he wanted to coach in the NFL and his wife didn't want to move...it made the most sense for him and his family.Actually, he did. That's one of the reasons Jim Harbaugh took the job instead of staying at Stanford.
The difference between Sparano and Zimmer is that Zimmer gets the most out of his players, while Sparano's players constantly underachieved.
If Ireland and Zimmer think alike and are on the same page.....THAT IS A GOOD THING PEOPLE!!!
One direction for the franchise
maybe but that page so far has produced three losing seasons, if zimmer comes i hope he has some say and is not a yes man and will choose his own staff
To consider Mike Zimmer a "Cowboy cast off" is just a poster looking to ***** at something. Mike Zimmer is a great hire and something this team needs now.
No, Parcells page has produced those losing seasons. And Sparano was a bad coach. This is new. Not a coincidence that Miami's best draft in recent years was last years once Parcells wasn't in the picture
The question is, how did his defense do against the afc east?
Sparano is the OC for the Jets
Fitzpatrick is still the QB for the Bills
NOT WORRIED!
Pats...we could have Lombardi as our coach and it wouldn't matter, they will torch us regardless
zimmer would be a great hire. im all in but im not going to excited about this report because of what i put in bold.Although Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin could be available to be hired by the Dolphins fairly soon, there’s increasing chatter in league circles that the Dolphins are presently leaning toward Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
