I somewhat get not wanting any retreads, but I don’t know that I’d say it’s lazy. The Patriots brought back Josh McDaniels after a failed stint as HC, and they don’t get too much wrong up there. Big picture wise anyway. They’ve won 3 Super Bowls since bringing him back. None while he was gone. So it seems it was a good move.
That’s just one example ofc, but I’d say it depends on the coach/player and the situation.

For those who aren't sold on Zimmer's offensive acumen, I'd like to point out that his rolodex of NFL coaches is significant. Offensive minds like Gary Kubiak have been willing to work with Zimmer in Minnesota. If he can be sold on the organizational structure (big IF - Tobin and crew may he viewed as widowmakers for coaching careers at this point), then he should be able to bring in some competent coordinators/assistants.
If Zimmer is available as a HC he has to at least make the short list of potential hires IMO. I'd swap him for Taylor yesterday.

They literally just gave im a 3 year contract extension in July...along with Cousins. They are kind of stuck with both for atleast a couple years.
