I like the move. He is 66 yrs and has over 30 yrs NFL experience as both a DC and HC. He would be great for Gannon.

He's got a ton of DC experience, with good teams. HC experience...and looks like he spent this past season with Coach Prime at Jackson State.

It would be great to have Zimmer as the DC and Arians as the OC.

Didn’t he blow us off for a HC job years ago.

Much much much rather have Zim at DC than VJ.
That would make me excited.

Lots of people blew us off before. Half a dozen this offseason alone.

It’s valentines day. If it were meant to be, its meant to be.
I will take Zim. I would be more excited about that verses our head coach pick.

As a mentor, fine - D-C, no thanks.
He actually hasn't run a defence since his time with the Bengals.

Word is Zimmer may not be DC, could be a senior defensive assistant.
I think I'd prefer Zimmer as a senior assistant with a younger guy as DC but Zimmer has a wealth of knowledge and experience I'd be happy to see here. Him and Pagano were guys I had in mind for such a role.

It could very well be something similar to what Carolina is doing with Evero and Dom Capers.

Zimmer is a weird guy. At Minnesota, he tried to get heavily involved with the offense though he lacked the experience to be credible (note to Gannon). When Cousins got hurt, he threw the backup under the bus. He apparently became very bitter when the Vikings failed to win his last couple of years. That might be a concern since the Cards’ D is a rebuild. He certainly knows defense, but would he function well in the Cards’ environment.
If Gannon is what they say he is and has that take charge kind of mentality, Zimmer would not be an issue as a consultant. He wouldn't have the position to meddle with the offense or care about the backup QB. As a consultant/assistant I would be fine with him in that role. Heck, I would take him as DC over Vance Joseph.
Dream staff.It would be great to have Zimmer as the DC and Arians as the OC.
Would love to have Zimmer on the staff.
