Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Coordinator Mike Zimmer is the next Minnesota Vikings Head Coach. Nothing is official yet, but the Mike Zimmer situation has progressed to the point where multiple outlets: NFL Network, ESPN, Fox Sports are reporting it as a done deal. It’s rumored that Mike Zimmer wasn’t even going to leave the Vikings practice facility in Winter Park, Minnesota. He would accept the job and stay there. Jay Glazer seemed to have the Mike Zimmer story first.
Of course, nothing is official official right now. And sometimes even the team is wrong. We’ve had it happen here twice in this city alone very recently. The Chicago Bulls with Doug Collins and the Bears with Dave McGinnis. Sometimes even the team is wrong. Here’s something we can confirm about Mike Zimmer. He’s a $%$%^$^&$#$#$#@#@$ and ALL CAPS kind of guy. Mike Zimmer is LOUD and SWEARY and CURSEY! Mike Zimmer will scream and curse you out, like he does to his Bengals defense in the clip below.
It’s from the most recent season of HBO “Hard Knocks.” And it gives you something to do on Mike Zimmer day:
