It took him a month to figure that out? That boy is lightning quick…! ;)

why would he leave before they let him go? I wouldn't throw four weeks of paychecks away if I didn't have another job waiting...

Adam also said that having a really hot step mom is not at all like what you see in pornos.
i'm sure a tenured coach like Dre was motivated to share co-defensive title with someone 1/3 his age.

I wondered about this. I was pissed at the co-coordinator designation. I thought it sent a bad message.

Former #Vikings assistant Adam Zimmer said his father, Mike Zimmer, would be open to returning to the NFL in a coaching capacity. "I think he does (have interest), but it has to be the right situation.”

FWIW, O'Connell is 2 years younger than Adam is, so he's getting a HC job at the same age Adam got the co-DC.
That said, I'm not supporting the nepotism hire. I also don't think Patterson was some exceptional DC that was being watered down by Adam or anything. I think Patterson is best suited for the DL coach. Zimmer should have brought in a real OC or DC. Locking himself to three inexperienced coordinators probably cost him his job.

Being set in his ways cost him his job. He also didn't have the players to run his scheme the last couple years. He tried to adjust by playing less pressure and man coverage as well as more zone. But he didn't have the players to make it work. That's why I'm happy Rick went out the door with him.
I don't know much about Adam, but he will get another job somewhere. It's almost a fail proof system. Everybody gets fired, but everybody gets another job somewhere.
