The Chiefs have announced a new hire, former Saints assistant coach Adam Zimmer.
Zimmer, the son of Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, served as a defensive assistant for the Saints under Joe Vitt, the team's assistant head coach and linebackers coach.
In Kansas City, Zimmer will serve a similar role, with the title defensive assistant/assistant linebacker coach.
I was under the impression that if a coach was under contract, any team that hired him away had to give him a promotion, which is why position coaches sometimes wound up with "assistant head coach" titles like Vitt's. Seems like Zimmer's move is purely lateral.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the Saints agree to it, any move is allowed.
