This is important to us for two reasons. One reason is because the Ravens would be losing their defensive coordinator and since they're in the AFC North, any news about their team is news to us as well. The other reason is because if this is true, it's another team that Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer would be out of the running for.
There is nothing official yet, but if this is the case, the only job remaining that Zimmer is still being considered for is the head coaching position of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stay tuned for more updates on the NFL coaching carousel as it pertains to Zimmer and the Bengals.

RE:
I do too. How chapped must he be that he got passed over for the SAME job by ANOTHER AFC North Defensive Coordinator?

It's all in the name.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. But when you have the choice between a rose (zim) and a “my defense just took the Ravens to the AFC championship game and we could have won too” tulip, what do you pick as an uninformed fan who may or may not be renewing season tickets?

Called it.
Pagano a much sexier name than Zimmer. Awesome news.

Well Bengals dodged some bullets
now they can focus on having a great draft. Pay the man some respect and give him at least 1 first round pick, the first since the 2008 draft. Course before that, defense had 3 first round picks in a row.
