Zimmer carried the Bengals through the Dalton era and would be a great option! I love what he does with the secondary! He was great at developing the pass rush!
Hey James & folks! I think Eberflus would be the answer at 'D-Coordinator' in my opinion. I like how he structured & coached the Bears defense. They were aggressive. Can he get the players that he wants tho'.
Question about Eberflus... wouldn't his defense be too complicated? I mean, the d-line wanted a simpler defense from Lou. It doesn't sound like Eberflus's defense isn't want the d-line wants/needs. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Horsemom121 Fair enough...can they acquire bigger A Gap players & morph into a different style of defense? We can assume that Hendrickson will still be there, they should build around him & whomever is the best defensive coordinator that fits his style of play should be chosen.
I agree w James, they've fired a lot of the defensive staff. It's to our advantage to get it done sooner rather than later so the new dc can pick their staff and get everything in line.
even though I loved Mike Zimmer when he was in Cincinnati and even though I suffered like a dog when he left for Minnesota, I believe he is no longer an effective answer for our team ... the game has gone too far ahead of his schemes
I'd be looking for smart guys that have new ideas and able to change with situations. Different looks for different opponents. The Bengals have got to start getting pressure in the face of Quarterbacks. They've got the backside covered, but man, not having a balanced rush against the quarterbacks hurts them and that's why they give up so many points. If you don't have that one guy who can do that, you have got to have schemes. You have to come up with SOMETHING. So much for the last DC. They never did have anyone show up from the other side. They have to find these guys and be smart about it. It comes back to, getting a fast start, getting home field advantage throughout the playoffs or KC again. There's ways of CREATING pressure against EVERY team out there. You just have to figure it out and find that one subtle edge you need. It's the little things that work. Don't forget, defense and special teams win championships. You saw that all of last year.
Matt Eberflus would be an excellent fit as a defensive coordinator (DC) for the Cincinnati Bengals-or any NFL team-due to his proven track record of building disciplined, high-performing defenses. Here's why he would be an ideal candidate: 1. **Proven Success as a Defensive Coordinator** - **Track Record with the Colts**: As the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts (2018-2021), Eberflus transformed the defense into one of the NFL's most consistent and opportunistic units. His system emphasized: - Forcing turnovers (takeaways). - Playing with high effort and intensity. - Sound tackling and fundamentals. - Under his leadership, the Colts ranked consistently in the top half of the league in total defense and takeaways, with multiple players thriving in his system. 2. **Expertise in Scheme and Player Development** - **4-3 Scheme Mastery**: Eberflus is a proponent of the 4-3 defensive scheme with a strong emphasis on discipline, gap integrity, and coverage principles. This could complement the Bengals' existing defensive personnel, particularly their talented pass rushers and linebackers. - **Linebacker Development**: Eberflus is particularly skilled at developing linebackers, as evidenced by the success of players like Darius Leonard (Shaquille Leonard) with the Colts. The Bengals' linebacker corps, led by Logan Wilson, could reach new heights under his coaching. - **Adaptability**: While his base defense is a 4-3, Eberflus has shown the ability to mix in hybrid looks and adjust his schemes to exploit opponent weaknesses, a trait critical in today's NFL. 3. **Culture and Discipline** - Eberflus is renowned for instilling a culture of effort and accountability. His "HITS" principle (Hustle, Intensity, Takeaways, Situational Smartness) demands players compete at a high level on every snap, fostering a mindset that leads to consistent defensive success. - The Bengals' defense under Lou Anarumo has been well-coached and aggressive. Eberflus would continue this emphasis on discipline while potentially taking the unit to another level with his proven ability to maximize individual and collective performance. 4. **Bengals' Fit** - **Complementary to Offense**: Eberflus's defenses excel at getting off the field on third downs and creating turnovers, which would perfectly complement the Bengals' dynamic offense led by Joe Burrow. - **Immediate Impact**: With established stars like Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, and Jessie Bates III (if retained), Eberflus would inherit a talented core that matches his defensive philosophy of speed and discipline. - **Playoff Pedigree**: His defensive systems have shown resilience in high-pressure situations, which aligns with the Bengals' aspirations as perennial contenders. 5. **Experience as a Leader** - While his head coaching tenure with the Chicago Bears has faced challenges, it has provided him with leadership experience that could elevate his effectiveness as a coordinator. He understands the big picture and how to manage players and staff in high-stakes environments. Conclusion Matt Eberflus would be an ideal DC for the Bengals because of his deep expertise in defensive football, ability to develop players, and track record of instilling disciplined, high-effort play. Pairing his system with the Bengals' existing talent would likely result in a top-tier defense, capable of dominating in a competitive AFC.
@@BenJones-g3w yeah, they lost me with that one. It was a pretty good write up until I read that part. Any Bengals/football fan with this much knowledge has to know a star player like Bates has been gone for 2 seasons now, right? Especially when it was such a highly publicized story, complete with a hold out heading into his final season. I almost wonder if this entire post was written with AI. Edit: the reason I think at least some of it is AI generated is because of the things in parentheses. Like was it necessary to say Darius Leonard with “Shaquille” in parentheses? When most football fans know him as Shaq Leonard. And in a similar Mike Zimmer post elsewhere, it says “Mile Zimmer (also known as Mike Zimmer)” lol he’s just Mike Zimmer. Where’s “Mile” coming from, other than just a common typo when you type Mike?
And if I’m wrong and these are just a few simple mistakes or editorial choices, my apologies. Like I mentioned, there’s a lot of great points in here. Just some odd inconsistencies.
@chriseads4791 who are you to tell me to do anything, anywhere....anytime? if I want to use ChatGPT to ask a question....that's what I'll do. The audacity of you commanding of me to adhere to you and your wishes speaks to massive narcissism. Please reply as to why you feel like you reserve this right.
i think with this current team and Zac etc it could actually work bc Zimmer don’t play at all. Could bring a lil more accountability & a great defensive mind.
I'm still not convinced about Eberflus! I'm not mad about Zimmer coming back. Although, I am concerned about whether or not he would fit with this Bengals team. Also, I'm not too thrilled about bringing someone back from the Marvin Lewis era. This is my biggest issue with bringing Mike Zimmer back!
@BengalsTalk Yes, I know he is, but Pitch is good and he has proven himself. This is why he has been with the Bengals for a while! Zimmer might not fit or work with this Bengals team or with the way defenses are schemed today. Zimmer is good. I am just concerned. I don't want the team to suffer as a result of another decision that didn't work out!
I'm in favor of it, but one he is old, two I remember his defenses being underwhelming in the playoffs with Cinci. But who knows, maybe they were just demoralized by the offense.
We can get any coach in the NFL but without the right players "corners and safeties" it won't matter. Our defense needs so much, there won't be any quick fixes!
Whoever they hire has to be better than Anarumo or why let him go. Saying “he’ll be fine” isn’t better than Lou. We need a significant improvement or at least someone with significant potential.
Mike Zimmer would make the D be a true D...That in my opinion would be enough for the team to let Joe Brrr and The Cool Cats to score more than enough points to win any game.
This wait is agonizing when other teams have already started hiring. Give Eberflus or Zimmer a pass rush and corners who can tackle then we have something. I’m on bored with Saleh.
Eberflus > Zimmer. Hiring Zimmer might be awkward since he bolted the Bengals for an HC job. Cowboys were just ok on defense with him. Eberflus seems younger and more relatable with more recent success.
Should not have fired Lou, Zack and Duke should have been gone first... Lous defense carried the playoff runs not the low powered offense... He got scapegoated because Zack is the worst coach in his own division... Facts
I loved Lou during the SB run, but his defensive rankings speak for themselves: 2024: 25th in yards - 25th in points 2023: 31st in yards - 21st in points 2022: 16th in yards - 6th in points 2021: 18th in yards - 17th in points 2020: 26th in yards- 22nd in points 2019: 29th in yards - 25th in points Avg ranks of 24 in yards and 19th in points allowed. We need better.
Love zim and at first I thought no. But I think he could turn the d around. Because his scheme is simple for the most part. I think that was the problem with lou is that his scheme was pretty complicated and you have to have high football IQ . Especially the safteys. I think zim would settle things down. But he's old and because he had a simple scheme a good coach like reed could kill the weaknesses. But he had proven he can take a d and settle it down
Can we please look at someone young and dynamic. I loved Zim when he was here but that was then and this is now, bring in someone young who can identify with the players but even more importantly motivate them and coach them up. Please
I’d be good with bringing Zimmer back. The man poured his heart and soul into the defense when he was here. Our defense was always really good when he was here and I don’t recall them being the reason for us not making it to the playoffs.
Please Cincinnati Bengals organization stop listening to him or anyone who thinks like him we're tired of you keep on hiring bum ass coaches The players deserve way better not what he thinks
The coordinator from Oregon should be scratched from your list, James. He's had several disciplinary actions against him. One commentor on your podcast developed a damaging list of the actions taken against this Oregon defensive coach.
My thoughts exactly. Dallas hasn’t paid Micah yet and Micah is a BIG Joe Burrow fan, claiming Burrow is the best QB in the world… a packaged deal giving Cincy 2 elite edge rushers… yeah, I’ll take that!
I want a dc with a proven track record that isn't zimmerman. These are the golden years of joe and jamarrs career. We need to match that with a premium candidate.
ME is soooo great that he’s received no offers after being fired by the Bears. Zimmer is soooo amazing that he had ZERO offers for employment until desperate Dallas came calling. Hard NO to both of them!
Can/should I say that this would be a typical/cheap move by a dysfunctional franchise? Get Zimmer when his stock is Down. Zimmer had a disastrous year in Dallas. A Mikie Brown NOT a Paul Brown type of move.
I see alot of ppl talkin good n bad about Zimmer n if u ask me none of this matter if he not a right fit that’s 1! N 2 we need to clean house with our defense like we don’t need bell , pay the players that ballin for us we can have the best coach in the world but players not gonna do they job on the field they it’s pointless
As an answer to the headline NOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Who are these Bengal fans wanting these failed retreads in Coaches such as Blowhard Rex Ryan OR Zimmer who was fired in Minnesota as Head Coach and did anyone see the Cowboys defense this season after the job Dan Quinn did? Quinn had the Cowboys defense ranked in the upper tier. Quinn left and the Cowboy Defense this season under Zimmer was mediocre. STOP with the hire Mike Zimmer talk.

He’s been on my wishlist
Zimmer carried the Bengals through the Dalton era and would be a great option! I love what he does with the secondary! He was great at developing the pass rush!
i would love to have a DC that doesn't confuse my players anymore
YES! 100%
Dax Hill would be a star under Mike Zimmer’s defensive philosophy. I say go for him.
Its gonna be Eberflus
I think this is correct as well.
Don’t say that. We don’t want either.
@@JC-1220 Eberflus COULD be decent, actually. I'm keeping an open mind.
@@JC-1220 He's got a decent track record. Not gonna get a shot at being a head coach again anytime soon.. if ever. This is the right move.
Hope so. I like him a lot.
Allen and Eberflus are my #1 and #2

@@carlbenson6412 your plan sounds good to me. ❤️
Colts couldn't get Eberflus out the door soon enough, has no clue, Terrible D.C , Borrow will always be playing catch up
We need to go big on a big time Defensive coach.
James, when do you anticipate the Front Office to have made a decision? Pre or post Super Bowl?
@@user-yy9kz2vr3l pre
I agree w James, they've fired a lot of the defensive staff. It's to our advantage to get it done sooner rather than later so the new dc can pick their staff and get everything in line.

YES!! Zimm was one of the best D coordinators we have ever had.
NOOOO did you see the Zimmer defense this season as Cowboys Def Co after Dan Quinn left?
@@TJIRISH44 He had zero offensive help for most of the season. I do remember Zimm's defenses here in Cincy and they were great.
@@brianhartman7135 He was FIRED as Vikings Coach. You are living in the past.
@@TJIRISH44 He was a head coach for the Vikings, not a DC. It's almost as if some people are better coordinators than head coaches.
No Cowboys were in worse condition than the Bengals . Please don't take him, we will go backwards for sure.
Zimmer definitely holds everyone accountable.
I always liked Zimmer. Hated to see him go to Minnesota all those years ago.
The fact its taking so long might point to the top choice being...Al Golden
What we need is another defense edge who’s dominate!
Omg!!! That would kick so much butt!
Loved Zimmer...back in the day. His day is not tomorrow for us
James...do you think they have an interest in someone who is still in the playoffs?..And, does Zimmer still have his home in Walton, KY?
Please add Zimmer or Allen! We need the veteran defensive mind that has always been able to develop pass rushers!
I've always wanted mike zimmer back ever since he left!
I think he should have replaced Marvin as HC
@benjaminjohnson8431 yes i agree

Not a fan of Zimmer for a couple of reasons. 1. He's old. 2. He's never been a winner. Why would we want more of the same old shit.
My thoughts exactly
He's tough!
We he was are defensive coordinator our defense rank 13 to top 8 and Zimmer defense better than lou wack ass 5-2 scheme.
mike likes the same as the old...what about mike Shula
He made the bengals defense a top 3 defense….
Zimmer???Had a backup corner one on one with Jamar for the Cowboys lose! You sure???

I’d rather have Everfluse
i think with this current team and Zac etc it could actually work bc Zimmer don’t play at all. Could bring a lil more accountability & a great defensive mind.
My thoughts are this get the BEST coach possible! No excuses,($$$)
I'm for it.
Imagine wanting to move backwards and not forwards by hiring a DC who the game has advanced too much for.
Only Bengals fans accept such mediocrity.
I'm still not convinced about Eberflus! I'm not mad about Zimmer coming back. Although, I am concerned about whether or not he would fit with this Bengals team. Also, I'm not too thrilled about bringing someone back from the Marvin Lewis era. This is my biggest issue with bringing Mike Zimmer back!
Dan Pitcher is from the Marvin Lewis era…
@BengalsTalk Yes, I know he is, but Pitch is good and he has proven himself. This is why he has been with the Bengals for a while! Zimmer might not fit or work with this Bengals team or with the way defenses are schemed today. Zimmer is good. I am just concerned.

When he was with us he was good our defense was great
I just want someone who can teach the players to tackle
Love the audio version of the logo! Gonna need a new Rivertown Inkery rope hat with that logo to go with my other one.
I feel like the anonymous head coach is Zach Taylor😂😂
Zimmer is great. I would hire him and hopefully he will have a few young assistants that can learn from him.
Great coverage as always. Thanks James and Andrew. Excited to see who is going to bring our defense back to respectable 🖖
If he brings #11 with him...c'mon back
Why are y’all worried about fit on defense
We can get any coach in the NFL but without the right players "corners and safeties" it won't matter. Our defense needs so much, there won't be any quick fixes!
this assignment could ruin a career
You don’t need a good secondary, you need a good pass and will easily fix the secondary.
The next DC must be able to develop players. With all the payroll tied up on offense, there is not a lot of salary cap for free agents on defense.
When Zimmer started with Cincinnati didn't he take the League's worst defense and have them in the top 10 in 2 to 3 years?
PS Zimmer still has a crap ton of land here in NKY i’m pretty sure so that could be something
Patrick Graham still stands as the best possible hire of names seriously mentioned. Old men, retreads, and first timers are not appropriate candidates
Graham has done nothing but finish mid or worst in every season. Including finishing with a bottom scoring def this year. Get a clue
Always hire committed Bengals. Marvin Lewis or Zimmer.
Whoever they hire has to be better than Anarumo or why let him go. Saying “he’ll be fine” isn’t better than Lou. We need a significant improvement or at least someone with significant potential.
Mike Zimmer would make the D be a true D...That in my opinion would be enough for the team to let Joe Brrr and The Cool Cats to score more than enough points to win any game.
Come on back Mr Zimmer
Mikey Mikey Mikey
Woh day
This wait is agonizing when other teams have already started hiring. Give Eberflus or Zimmer a pass rush and corners who can tackle then we have something. I’m on bored with Saleh.
Starts @ 1:20
Might as well call back Hue Jackson too 🙄
Eberflus > Zimmer. Hiring Zimmer might be awkward since he bolted the Bengals for an HC job. Cowboys were just ok on defense with him. Eberflus seems younger and more relatable with more recent success.
Also, for a coach to teach, they have to know something to teach. Let's start there first.
If he gives us a top six defense we will win it all
Should not have fired Lou, Zack and Duke should have been gone first... Lous defense carried the playoff runs not the low powered offense... He got scapegoated because Zack is the worst coach in his own division... Facts
The offense was also full of young guys and a terrible o line while the defense were a ton of vets. Not a good comparison it’s a whole new team.
I loved Lou during the SB run, but his defensive rankings speak for themselves:
2024: 25th in yards - 25th in points
2023: 31st in yards - 21st in points
2022: 16th in yards - 6th in points
2021: 18th in yards - 17th in points
2020: 26th in yards- 22nd in points
2019: 29th in yards - 25th in points
Avg ranks of 24 in yards and 19th in points allowed. We need better.
Is this really one of their options, lol??? I can't stand Bengals ownership anymore.
I’m more then good with Matt eberflus, their defense was really good last year and early on this year
I was a huge fan when he was with us years ago… but it’s a new era and his stint with the cowboys didn’t impress me at all
They are waiting on someone from the playoff teams positin coaches
Not crazy about any of the candidates.....

who can identify with the players but even more importantly motivate them and coach them up. Please
The culture in Minneapolis was not good under Zimmer. So NO thank you!
I’d be good with bringing Zimmer back. The man poured his heart and soul into the defense when he was here.
Our defense was always really good when he was here and I don’t recall them being the reason for us not making it to the playoffs.
The only thing the defense has to have is good cardio because the offense will throw them right back on the field
Please Cincinnati Bengals organization stop listening to him or anyone who thinks like him we're tired of you keep on hiring bum ass coaches The players deserve way better not what he thinks

Micah Parsons is a fan of Zimmer... so, package deal. LOL
My thoughts exactly. Dallas hasn’t paid Micah yet and Micah is a BIG Joe Burrow fan, claiming Burrow is the best QB in the world… a packaged deal giving Cincy 2 elite edge rushers… yeah, I’ll take that!
@mattmicheli8847 I'd probably faint at the beginning of every game. 😆
@@mattmicheli8847Bengals can't even pay both their WRs and own edge, and you guys are talking Parsons 😂
I want a dc with a proven track record that isn't zimmerman. These are the golden years of joe and jamarrs career. We need to match that with a premium candidate.
I think Josh Boyer would be a great choice. He has the NFL DC experience and is an Ohio guy. Would be a great addition to the team.
The Bengal front office will hire the one guy who is not the right fit and the rest would have been great
Cowboys were shit, why would we want Zim back
He was the best dc we’ve had in decades
Yea
Didn't Zimmer come to us in 2008 after leaving Dallas????
Nope. He left Atlanta after being on Petrino's staff
@ yep, your correct. He was with Dallas before that.
I'm not sure Zimmer would be the best guy for the job? I'd be ok with the hire but id rather have a younger coach that can develop the young guys on D
ME is soooo great that he’s received no offers after being fired by the Bears.
Zimmer is soooo amazing that he had ZERO offers for employment until desperate Dallas came calling.
Hard NO to both of them!
Loved Zim in the day, but same problem, only plays long in tooth veterans till they become dinosaurs Need young players
Why no hire Marvin Lewis?
bring back mike Shula
Can/should I say that this would be a typical/cheap move by a dysfunctional franchise? Get Zimmer when his stock is Down. Zimmer had a disastrous year in Dallas. A Mikie Brown NOT a Paul Brown type of move.

No thanks
Do it I love Zim no sense no bullshit type of guy.
Zimmer should've been the head coach since they let him go to Minnesota! Another Brown family failure!
MARVIN LEWIS
I’m not particularly interested in any of these options.
Zimmer will bring back with him Packman John… oh hell no
I wld love Zimmer but I think we need NEW BLOOD
No. I’d rather have Marvin Lewis as DC
Nah I’m cool on zimmer respectfully
Absolutely the hell not
No. I like Zim but don’t like what I saw in Dallas.
Eberflus looks a bit like Ted Kaczynski
Lol
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we do not need mike zimmer been there done that dont do it again
I'd be behind a Mike Zimmer choice.
