I know he has thrown players under the bus before but how many times can he do this before he loses the locker room? I just don't how much more the guys will fight for him. He is only fighting for certain people and the way he goes about it is ridiculous at times. He is not going to change at this point but there are other players that deserve a coach that will have their backs. I am so fucking over it.
He basically just said, "Hey Mond... You know that sack of crap that played tonight? Mannion? Yeah... He's better than you."

Just a prick thing to say, because it feels like he's shooting strays on the way out.

Regardless of what he believes (staying or going), it's a prick thing to say.
If he thinks he's staying, he just blasted the confidence of his year two QB.

If he thinks he's on the way out, he poisoned the well.

When we're winning his act of grumpy old man who chews leather and spits nails is tolerable and somewhat endearing (in a "Can you believe Grandpa said that?" kind of way).

When we are losing or hovering around .500, it's condescending, insulting, and downright grating to watch.

I will be the first to say that I've given Zim a longer leash than most, and have been a fan of his pressers in the past, but at this point, his act has just worn thin.

It's a dick move. You are supposed to be a leader of men, try being a fucking adult first.

Zimmer is taking a page from our HOShame military coach Les

punishment/criticism will continue until morale improves

His problem with Mond is...Most likely due to the fact that Mond is unvaccinated and if there’s two things Zimmer seems to really dislike its rookies and the unvaccinated.

Zimmer has needed to be removed a couple years agao.

I'd retire. Take a nap, and retire again.

I could give a F'ck if I see Kellen Mond or not this season...

Zimmer shouldn't have tossed shade at the kid in his presser, I think he's pretty much at the end of his patience rope and sees the writing on the wall.

I feel bad for Mike and Viking nation right now.

It's like Belichik responses ...

Without any championships to justify the attitude

Yep, I don't hate Zimmer. I don't think he's a complete fuckup. Its just time for him to go. I have my criticisms of him, but I also respect he has some good coaching traits as well.

My biggest complaint about Zimmer is his coaching “staff sucks” which is quite telling.

If Mond has not shown much in practice and he wouldn't listen to his coach and get vaccinated, why would Zimmer like him or play him? Put yourself in Zimmer's shoes, he has a young QB who is drafted who won't listen to him and from what it sounds like doesn't perform in practice. I wouldn't play him either. No one here knows what has happened between the two, so not fair to judge him on this issue.
