Zimmer was with Kansas City from 2010-12. In ’11, Zimmer’s work with linebackers helped Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson both reach the Pro Bowl, the first instance of two Chiefs LBs getting the nod since 1972. Zimmer’s term in Kansas City ended after this past season with the release of head coach Romeo Crennel and his staff.

Zimmer played defensive back in college, lettering for four seasons (2002-05) at Trinity University (San Antonio, Texas).

“Adam is a good young coach with two great experiences already in the NFL,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “He’ll assist our defensive backs coach, Mark Carrier, and I’m very confident he will do a fine job.”

Zimmer is the son of Mike Zimmer, Bengals defensive coordinator since 2008.

I feel better with this information now. sounds like a good signing!

For the life of me, i just cannot figure out WHY we have so many injuries year after year.Its always the case here in the nati, I just hate the fact that this team is always dealing with key injuries each and every year.Yea, i get it that other teams have injuries too, but you gotta admit,our team is always injured big time each and every year.Its crazy and mindblowing to see all the picking injuries we have to deal with.ITs really crazy and I for one would love to see something, anything they can do to stop it.Its really really bad in the nati,If we could go through one season without so many, we may do something.So tired of watching everyone that we need go down with injuries.

Well thats one of those little things that will probly stay in the Family.... Marvin makes good money but not NFL Team buying money lol.

[DWright]

Woo I called it Mike Brown must read my posts.

Ok Mike now that I know your there listen closely. Sign Nick Roach SLB Bears, Tracy Porter CB Broncos, and Dwayne Bowe WR Chiefs or Victor Cruz could be a choice too if you want to spend money and give up a draft pick (6th round? RFA)

Some cheaper WR FA instead of Bowe or Cruz that would be fine are Austin Collie Colts (if healthyish for 2013) and Domenik Hixon Giants.

Mike Zimmer to head coach after next year then Adam Zimmer to DC if he does a good job with the Secondary....pleaaaasse Mike Brown! Then you can move Marvin to GM and see him every day, and make cookies and have office parties together it'll be great..thanks!

Mike Zimmer has consistnely fielded a top tier defense nearly every year he's been here. He's half the reason our team is still competitive.
