Former members of the Dallas Cowboys describe what the team is getting in Mike Zimmer.
“He’s a great man and he’s a phenomenal football coach,” said former Cowboys defensive end and current ESPN analyst Marcus Spears, who played for Zimmer for two seasons. “Tough but fair and he cares about his guys. It was great to play for Zim even when he cursed me out.”
Bill Parcells did not know Zimmer when he took over as Cowboys head coach in 2003, but it did not take him long to like him. A lot.
