Please, get over the fact that I actually liked Leslie Frazier. You bring it up on a weekly basis, if not more often.
....And thats an overreaction.
I'm just not a "believer" (and that was the case with Frazier as well). Like it or not, many of the doubts I've expressed about Zimmer as a head coach have clearly been justified. I continue to have doubts and I don't think any head coach should be immune to criticism.
Nobody on here has ever said Zimmer cant be criticized. However, you feel the need to continue to believe that. You also said that you thought Frazier "was a good coach that was dealt a bad hand". Somehow you were a "believer" that Frazier was a good coach yet he never did anything to really prove he was a good coach in the NFL. At any level. However, Mike Zimmer has been as good as they come defensively. Has much more of a track record than Frazier ever did. Neither of the two were offensive minded guys. So my question is, how do you think Frazier was a "good coach" but you arent a "believer" in Mike Zimmer?
The two arent even comparable. Zimmer is a GREAT defensive coach and has been for years. Frazier was average AT BEST. They were about the same level offensively. But Frazier was a "good coach"??
Makes no sense to me. If Frazier was "dealt a bad hand", whatever that meant, then Mike Zimmer must have been dealt an even worse hand since he was given the worst defense in the NFL when he got here and no franchise QB. Cant imagine Frazier's "hand" was much worse.
I don't know how much of a handle Zimmer has on addressing the team's problems and his own shortcomings as a head coach. I do know he's saying he needs to figure that out and I hope he can.
And thats what I was saying. I said I felt like he knew what he had to do and you quickly disagreed. Just like most everything I say regarding Mike Zimmer.
