Signed to a one-year deal over the offseason, 2024 has been a prove-it season of sorts for Mike Zimmer. With a lifetime of experience and plenty of skins on the wall in Dallas, Zimmer didn’t need to prove his value to the Cowboys organization, he had to prove his value to the current roster and to whomever takes the head coaching reins in 2025.

Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons somewhat surprisingly said that he and Mike Zimmer had probably said a total of 20 words to each other since Zimmer was hired as defensive coordinator in February.

Now, though, the Cowboys have won three games in four tries and all the momentum seems to be pointing to continuity with the staff. Apologies to those who were hoping for a prized player in this year’s draft,
