Mike Zimmer Confirmed as Cowboys' New Defensive Coordinator

Zimmer returns to Dallas with extensive experience, aiming to bolster the team's defense after last season's playoff disappointment.

Mike Zimmer is confirmed as the new defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, replacing Dan Quinn.
Zimmer's return to the Cowboys marks a reunion, as he previously served in various defensive coaching roles for the team from 1994 to 2006.
The hiring decision followed a period of uncertainty and public speculation involving Rex Ryan, who was also considered for the position.
Zimmer brings extensive experience, having been a defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, and Cincinnati Bengals, and head coach for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Cowboys aim to strengthen their defense under Zimmer's leadership, following a disappointing playoff exit last season.
