You're jumping ahead a bit but it certainly sounds like that's how it will turn out.

I'm extremely excited for next year now. our defense will be instantly turned around under Coach Zimmer. Just hope he brings in a creative Offensive coordinator and we'll be looking good.

@AdamSchefter One candidate Vikings HC Mike Zimmer is considering as his offensive coordinator is Norv Turner, per league sources.

I hope you are right, but if he shifts to the 3-4, I think there will be at least one season of growing pains. Not a lot of talent in that back 7.

Zimmer has always run the 4-3 everywhere he's been, outside of one season with the Cowboys under Parcells.

This would be an amazing upgrade.

@RapSheet #Bengals LB coach Paul Guenther is still deciding if he wants to join Mike Zimmer in Minnesota or stay in Cincy as DC.

Cannot wait. This defense is going to get better. I cannot wait.
