Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is again considering handing off defensive play calling to coordinator George Edwards, however only after this season ends.
Zimmer considered the switch last offseason, saying he was evaluating ways he could be a better head coach on game days.
"[Edwards] really does everything for me, other than I call the plays on Sunday," Zimmer said during a conference call with Chicago reporters on Wednesday. "But I may change that next year."
“George does everything,” Zimmer said. “He helps with the game plan. He runs a lot of the meetings, the defensive meetings. Him and I really sit down and talk about all the different things that are going on. He studies the game just like he’s calling the game. So he’ll come in and talk to me about second down-and-whatever. ‘They’re doing this,’ or, ‘they’re doing that.’ Really, he does everything other than call the game on Sunday.”
