Phatcat Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I too feel for Zimmer, but happy for us! But seriously Schiano? If I were Zimmer I would be saying WTF! The guy has done nothing but underachieve as a College HC at Rutgers. Being a UC fan, I certainly have watched alot of Rutgers games in the Big East over the years. Perhaps Zimmer needs to look at the positive, he won't being working for an Organization who was stupid enough to hire Schiano as their NFL HC.

I can't remember it ever happening. [/quote] You must be a little more on the younger side of 35. BILL WALSH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullichicken25 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 i'd have to imagine that barring a complete colapse of our the bengal's D this is Zimmer's last season as DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Didn't Coslet go from OC here to HC in New York, then come back here as a HC? Edit, he came back from New York as OC and was promoted to HC. But yes, he left here as OC to be the Jets HC in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBacker Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 This is really great news for us. This year was so crazy with the lockout and the quitter, continuity going into next year will be big. Zimmer will get his shot some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] ***this*** Or an organization that would fire a guy after one bad season, Raheem Morris went 10-6 in 2010 and got screwed out of making the playoffs(the Seahawks finished 7-9 and got in because they won their division). In 2011 his qb hurts his hand at a gun range and doesn't say anything until a month after stinking up the field and he's fired, after one bad year. I thought Morris had enough goodwill earned from the 2010 to atleast get him one more year, but I guess not. When the time is right Zimmer will get his shot and he will have success.

Le Tigre Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Great news! I wouldn't feel too sorry for him...he's a well-paid coordinator, in total charge of a Top-10 defense on a rising team, working for an organization who loves him. Somehow, I would see that as preferrable to being a two-year rent-a-coach, on organizations who don't give a fuck about any of their people (and I'm not just talking about Tampa either).
