Dehner believes that Zac probably sticks for year 3, but there will be a major shakeup to the staff. However, if Minnesota decides to let Zim go, then he believes the Bengals will wave bye to Zac and go hard to bring in Zim as HC.
The Vikings play the Bears next, and that's going to be a key game for Zimmer. If they lose to the Bears, then they'll be 3-5 at home this year and could realistically end up 6-10 on the season. I think that game will go a long way in determining Zimmer's future.
The idea of bringing Zac back, when he's likely to finish 4-27-1, is still mind boggling to me, even though it shouldn't be considering this franchise. Allowing a HC to come back for a 3rd year with a 2 year record that bad is unheard of during the SB era unless you're an 1960's/70's expansion team or the mistake by the lake.
