Word broke on Saturday that the Dallas Cowboys are meeting with Mike Zimmer about their vacancy at defensive coordinator (here is our tracker for all news and information related to the opening). Zimmer has obviously held the position before.
The Cowboys have only been connected to two outside candidates (and two internal) at the time of this writing, and the other one is the man responsible for the vacancy in the first place given that Ron Rivera’s firing led to Dan Quinn’s departure. Two outside candidates, both with head coaching experience, both on the older side in terms of age.
