Zimmer has spent the last 18 seasons as an assistant coach in the NFL, working for the Dallas Cowboys from 1994-2006, including the last seven seasons of that stint as the team's defensive coordinator. Zimmer was the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator under Bobby Petrino in 2007 before joining the Bengals in 2008. Bengals defenses have ranked in the Top 15 in total defense in each of the last four seasons, including fourth in 2009 and seventh in 2011. Source: Mac's Football Blog
