Spielman and Zimmer Fired!!

Which is baffling because he chose Kubiak and Little Zim to be his coordinators.

Kramer:That's true, but what QB was Zim ever going to succeed with, with his run mandates? Teddy nor Case were the answer either. I don't even think Kirks cap hit is a good excuse because our defense was basically the same in 2018 as it was in 2017 when it got most of the credit for our NFCCG run, and the hit didn't affect the team immediately. It was always something that wasn't going to affect us until later. Like right now it's a valid excuse, but it wasn't then. How'd we only go 8-7-1 that year? The defense wasn't much different in 2019 either and it still couldn't get it done.

Unless you have the '85 Bears, you need to rely on more than a good defense. A good defense wasn't going to suddenly make Zimmer smarter at managing a game. Which is the biggest liability in his philosophy that leads to a lot of close games. And whether he was against signing Cousins or whatever, he's the HEAD coach, and it's his job to adapt and make things work, or he's not worthy of the job. He was just a big pouting baby these past 4 seasons, trying to shove square pegs into round holes. Dungy went to Indy but he didn't turn Peyton into a game manager and try to spend most of the offseason capital on the defensive side of the ball. He adapted to offense, and used his defensive mind to get what he could out of what he had on defense. Zimmer can't even do that much. Too busy sulking.

How are people still defending this guy lol? Lousy leader, couldn't adapt, couldn't manage a game, couldn't coach up the defense, thick as granite. I'm struggling to figure out what he actually brought to the table. He was good at beating bad teams somehow? I got nothing.
