Mike Zimmer is the defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. It took a bit for that to finally become official, but it did so on Monday. In fact, the Cowboys are set to hold a press conference on Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the reunion.
As far as the search that Dallas conducted for someone to take the post left behind by Dan Quinn, Zimmer was one of the first names to pop up. Throughout the entire process it always seemed like he had a strong chance of winning the job.
Zimmer’s primary competition felt like other external candidates in Ron Rivera and Rex Ryan, but there were some in-house names that a lot of fans wanted to see in the mix as well.
