FRISCO, Texas - Mike Zimmer, who was recently the Cowboys defensive coordinator in 2024, appears to be reuniting with Deion Sanders once again.
Sanders, the head coach of Colorado, was on the stage at Big XII Media Days at Ford Center in Frisco and said Zimmer will be on the staff but wasn't specific with his role. It's likely he will have consulting duties as he did at Colorado in 2023 and in 2022 at Jackson State, where Sanders was the head coach.
Zimmer was the secondary coach in Dallas when Sanders joined the team in 1995 and coached him for his five years with the Cowboys.
Zimmer joined Mike McCarthy's staff last year as the defensive coordinator, but also been the head coach of the Vikings for eight seasons.
