This is important to us for two reasons. One reason is because the Ravens would be losing their defensive coordinator and since they're in the AFC North, any news about their team is news to us as well. The other reason is because if this is true, it's another team that Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer would be out of the running for.

There is nothing official yet, but if this is the case, the only job remaining that Zimmer is still being considered for is the head coaching position of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stay tuned for more updates on the NFL coaching carousel as it pertains to Zimmer and the Bengals.

It's all in the name.

A rose by any other name is still a rose. But when you have the choice between a rose (zim) and a “my defense just took the Ravens to the AFC championship game and we could have won too” tulip, what do you pick as an uninformed fan who may or may not be renewing season tickets?
