He hasn’t coached in the NFL since 2021, but former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer could be on his way back.
All he has to do is win a competition among four total candidates, as of Monday morning, for the Dallas Cowboys’ vacant defensive coordinator job.
Last year’s defensive boss, Dan Quinn, bolted for the Cowboys’ rival last week, taking the head coaching job for the Washington Commanders. In the next week or so, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and skipper Mike McCarthy will name Quinn’s replacement, and if the interview goes well, it might be Zimmer.
