Because you're a Bengals fan you're unable, or refuse, to look at coaches or players outside of the organization objectively? To even entertain someone outside over someone inside somehow negates your fandom? Am I understanding this thought process correctly.
Honestly, this is good to know for future discussions. At least you're honest. You're going with Marvin Lewis for no reason other than that he's a Bengals employee and Zimmer is not. Fair enough.
No dude I'm looking directly at your question which was who do I want as my head coach. Since both are head coaches and neither are switching teams before the season starts if I want zimmer as my head coach this year I have to root for the Vikings. If I want too root for the bengals well then marvin is still my head coach cause you know he is the head coach.
Now if you asked who would I feel better as being the head coach of the bengals in 2016 I might have answered zimmer.. I have long been behind the idea of promoting zimmer to head coach here when he was DC. But every year after daltons draft has gotten a little better a little closer to making that step beyond the 1st round exits. I cant fairly blame those loses on marvin who was on the field for zero snaps in all those playoff loses. I don't know if marvin is handcuffing the playcalling or letting his coordinators handle that.. what I do know is the bengals as a whole all 53 and the whole coaching staff and owner ship has lost 4 in a row.
but that boat has sailed for zimmer being our head coach. so while its a fun topic its one that's been kinda beat to death over the last few years. So I answered your direct question directly.
I hope this clears this up for you.
I still hope zimmer does well ill root for the Vikings this year any time they aren't playing the Bengals which I believe is all year. I like his style of coaching.
