Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike Zimmer Shares Al Harris’s Choice

Mike Zimmer, the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys,

was introduced on Wednesday.

Dan Quinn, who is now the head coach of the Washington Commanders,

will be replaced by him.

Dallas had performed admirably during the regular season,

despite its heavy reliance on subpar quarterback play.

The team’s demise would come from a lack of physicality, discipline,

and effective run defense after they had appeared to

be an All-Decade defense through September.

This resulted in a 48-32 defeat to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round,

which served as a perfect example of these shortcomings and raised the prospect of change.
The goal of Zimmer’s hiring is to try and implement the changes required to elevate

the Cowboys defense to the level of a championship team.

Fans, however, were worried that Zimmer might

cause more harm than good because of rumors

that defensive backs coach Al Harris might be involved in the coaching staff switch.
Since 2020,

Harris has been a member of the Cowboys.

They prevented him from interviewing for a position in Washington,

where some had anticipated he would eventually end up working for Quinn.

 

Following fifteen years in the National Football League as a

cornerback for the Tampa Bay Bucs, Philadelphia Eagles,

Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and St. Louis Rams,

Harris transitioned straight into coaching.

He spent three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs

after starting as an intern with Miami.

He worked his way up to become

the defensive backs coach there from defensive assistant.

Prior to his time in Dallas,

he worked for Florida Atlantic University for a year as a defensive assistant.
The Cowboys are currently assembling their defensive line,

with Quinn bringing Joe Whitt to Washington and

Aden Durde landing the position of coordinator in Seattle.

In actuality, Zimmer’s phone rang at the press briefing at

The Star as he was seated next to CEO Mike McCarthy.
“It’s a job applicant,” he informed us. “Really, it really was!”
What about Harris? In general,

something has gone horribly wrong or extremely good

if a fan base has an excessive amount of familiarity with a position coach.

Fans should continue to have hope for Harris’

coaching career and the future of the defense,

especially in light of the affection his players have shown for him and

Zimmer’s prompt confirmation that he will be joining the staff.
