Michael Irvin I'm Fired Up For Mike Zimmer ... Cowboys Nailed DC Hire!!!

Michael Irvin is stoked his Cowboys are planning to bring back Mike Zimmer to their coaching staff ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks the move could finally get his former squad over the hump.

Mike McCarthy reportedly made the decision to hire Zimmer as his new defensive coordinator on Thursday after Dan Quinn bolted for Washington earlier this month ... and when we got Irvin out at the "A Night Out With Legends" bash in Las Vegas on Thursday night, he was clearly pumped for the addition.

The Playmaker said he believes the Cowboys were a little too boom or bust under DQ -- but that should change with Zimmer running the show in 2024.
