SemperFeist Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 While it’s true, I would necessarily count 2016. Certainly not to the extent of 2014 or 2017. Hill wasn’t viewed as the team’s starter, and everyone knew that he was just a placeholder until Bradford got up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Believe it or not, Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer is entering his fifth season in Minnesota. Zimmer was hired by the Vikings in January of 2014 and has compiled a 39-25 regular-season record to go along with a pair of NFC North titles. Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld recently released his annual head coach rankings, and had the Vikings head man slotted in the eighth spot. Bill Belichick was at the top of the list, followed by Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, Doug Pederson, John Harbaugh and Ron Rivera. Sean McVay was listed at ninth after his first season. http://www.vikings.com/news/lunch-break/article-1/Lunchbreak-Rotoworld-Releases-Rankings-of-NFLs-Head-Coaches/1624144b-54fd-4da1-97df-4160b8baa957?sf183778221=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Fair enough. Zim has done a good job, everyone about him has earned their spot. Only one I think is truely highly debateable would be Harbaugh, but he also won a Super Bowl, and lately has continued to win a fair amount of games after tons of injuries. 8th is still pretty dang good when you still look at some of the names after him.

His first six years were great, but the last four haven't really been much to write home about. Then again, I suppose, people could rip Zimmer the same way for 2014 and 2016.

SemperFeist Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I’d easily take Zimmer over Tomlin, Harbaugh and Rivera. Edited March 6, 2018 by SemperFeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the modern day Denny Green. Pretty good in the regular season as a whole, but not a great coach when it counts in crunch time (either at the end of games or the playoffs). Any time there's any real significant pressure, he wilts. Edited March 6, 2018 by disaacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Zimmer's full media session this morning: (clear your schedule if you want to watch it all) http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Mike-Zimmers-Full-Owners-Meetings-Media-Session/7f9440e8-40df-4baa-83e6-0684886c08fe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 A few weeks ago, Zimmer met with Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf and brought up the subject of giving up his play-calling role. “And they were like, ‘Not so fast,’” Zimmer said. “So we’ll see how it goes.” Last season, 12 head coaches called their team’s offensive plays. Zimmer was the lone head coach who called defensive plays. The other 19 head coaches didn’t call any plays. “I would like to get away from it at some point,” Zimmer said. “But I think it’s something I do good. I don’t want to be a second-guess coach if George calls something up — I don’t want to be like, ‘I hate that call.’ That’s not good.” https://theathletic.com/292294/2018/03/29/vikings-defense-mike-zimmer-play-calling-philadelphia-nfc-championship/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
