Espn:Bengals attempt to retain Zimmer


TE#80

Recommended Posts

What proves this??

His Bengals defense was run over by the one demmensonal Jets..

He was fired as the Falcons DC because they were ranked last in 2007.

His "Dallas Cowboys " defenses were nothing to right home about. They finished 1st and 5th in a seven year period, but were never known for causing turnovers or being dominant.

i've never understood why so many people want Zimmer. He's good but not worth a huge contract. Gray would be fine for less money.

well put!

I agree with the post

Holy Cow. I thought I would simply look at his Bio on Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_Crennel

and was impressed with his coaching. He difinitly is not HCing material but DC material he is.....

Romeo Crennel (born June 18, 1947 in Lynchburg, Virginia) is the former head coach of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. Before becoming the head coach of the Browns, Crennel won three Super Bowls in four seasons as the defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots. Crennel has participated in six Super Bowls winning five of them during his coaching career.

Uh, that's pretty sweet right there!

As for the Bengals game yesterday:

Look at our talent versus the Bengals' talent. Tell me you couldn't do much, much more with ours.

Yea the more I look at these guys' resumes, the more obvious it is that Romeo Crennel is without a doubt the most qualified and decorated. I mean, Super Bowls aside, just working as Belichick's DC says something. Then toss in the Super Bowls with the Pats and the Super Bowl with the Giants, success working under Bill Parcells (Parcells liked Crennel enough to carry him from the Giants to the Pats to the Jets), and HC experience (even if he wasn't successful in Cleveland, there's no way that experience doesn't help build a better coordinator). I mean, the Giants are really pursuing this guy-- it'd be a shame if we didn't at least make a run for him.

Romeo Crennel as DC and Mike Waufle as the DL coach... that'd be a great start to building a deadly, attacking D.

I just want Shanahan's first choice, whomever that may be.

Right now I'm going to give Shanahan the benefit of the doubt and I will buy into the idea that he's spent a year studying different coaches and their schemes. So if after doing his due dilligence for a year, Shanahan decides that Zimmer is the guy he wants running his defense, I'm cool with that.

Me too. Tough IMO to judge a coordinator by just one game. How would Gregg Williams do if you judged him on the NE game from a couple years back?

The story at least given on Cincy's defense is they aren't that talented but he's made something out of it anyway. In the playoffs its hard to hide talent deficiencies. Who is Cincy's stud pass rusher for example?

From what I saw last week, Crennel agreed to be the DC for the Chiefs.

He was offered the job, but has not accepted.

He is coaching in the East/West game. Probally will not make his decission till after the game.

I would hope the FO gives him an interview.

And yes it would suck if he took the job with the Giants.

Zimmer been the man they want but got to wait for his contract to run out , now the Bengals have to come up from the 500k a year they had offered him , if they even dream of keeping him .. Zimmer is the choice of coach , now if we can close the deal is yet to be seen , lets just say the shanny talked to him before now ... but like i said its a wait and see now

I be even extra busy (at work now :D), j, so haven't kept up the last couple days so much, but I see you're right here with this in the fourm, so that's a good sign. I want this guy above the other candidates. At a time like this, I'm happy Dan is the guy there to increase the chances of getting the people our new FO (and not necessarily he) want.
