The Wilfs are good people. I tend to think they will quietly ask him to retire after the season and he will. Of course he'll be a white hot DC candidate (if not HC candidate) on the market if he decides to stay in the game.
This is what I think will happen as well. I also think there's a chance he'll take a year off to let the stress unwind.
I could see this too. Zimmer and Kubiak both need to go, I’m good with whatever the Wilfs want to do with RS but I dont want RS picking the next head coach. We have some pretty damn good owners and have a lot of really good individual players along with a badass stadium. I think the Wilfs can get a top tier coaching candidate to come to Minny
I also think Zim will have new life as a DC, similar to Leslie. Zim has been a better HC than Leslie, but it’s just time to move on. Hopefully he Zimmer doesn’t wind up in the North. I don’t want to root against him, I just no longer want to root for him either.
Hopefully we beat GB but if the Vikings lose (close game, of course) and are officially eliminated from the playoffs then it’s a 100% no-brainer to start Kellen Mond in the final game.
1. See what you might have
2. Keep Kirk healthy because we either need him next year or will try to move him
Dalvin and some others should rest as well.
That said, does anyone think the current Vikings regime will actually do this?

That's a little different though. The Wilfs had just taken over ownership of the Vikings. Tice wasn't hired by the Wilfs so there was no history between the two. Also Tice's contract had expired and he had a few well-known off-field issues.
I don't know if the Wilfs will wait until after the season, or allow him to resign first, but if they do move on from Zim, I feel pretty confident they will find a way to do it that isn't a big slap in the face to a coach who, up until this year, has been more asset than liability to the org.

Minnesota luck, they beat Green Bay, they play Kirk against the bears, Kirk gets some sort of injury that makes him untradeable in the offseason and him not willing to work on any kind of deal because he knows the team has to pay him the 45 mill.

We don't need that bad juju, Jimmy. Stuff like this becomes possible when it's the Vikings. Knock it off

No, mond comes in and plays good enough to beat a defeated bears team, we make the playoffs, but then after teams have a week to prepare for him, we lose because Zimmer gets nervous and decides to start Mannion because of his veteran experience.

Question: Will Mannion be fully recovered from Covid? =)
