Cowboys to Hire Mike Zimmer As Defensive Coordinator, per Report
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire former Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer as their new defensive coordinator, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
The Cowboys saw Dan Quinn get poached by the NFC East rival Washington Commanders during the latest coaching cycle, as he was named the franchise’s head coach.
Zimmer will bring plenty of experience to Dallas, having been the Vikings’ coach for eight years from 2014-21. This marks the second time he will take up the job as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, having served in the same role from 2000-06.
