I don't think it will take very long for Spelly to get a new GM position.
Zimmer, I think, is and should be done as a HC candidate. I don't even think there would be much of a market for him as a DC.

i agree as a HC, but dont shit yourself, he will have calls in the next week or so for new DC opportunities.

He has struggled to coach a good defense the last few years. I think the game, even on D, has passed him bye, but we will see.
Mark Wilf: "I don’t want to be, to use the phrase, a Monday morning quarterback on this situation because we have to look forward. We’re going to bring in the right people to help evaluate the answer to that question."
Tell me you are moving on from your QB without telling me you are moving on from your QB.

his D success if predicated on dominant DT play IMO, when we had good DT play, our D was rocking, when LJ fell off, so did our defense. Pierce and Tomlinson were supposed to bring that back and between the injuries and illnesses they just never materialized. If I had a team with a strong group of DTs, and needed a DC, Zim would be one of my first calls, assuming he bring Patterson with him.

It can't be denied that we have some of the best owners in the league. They're willing to spend and stay out of the way. I think that may lead to some big opportunities to bring in big time talent at the GM and Head Coach spots. The larger question is identifying who they are, because none of the ones I'm hearing about make me real comfortable. Perhaps Brez for GM and go OC at head coach.Zimmer didn't lose the locker room.
The Minnesota Vikings are officially in the market for new leadership, and a former NFL head coach climbing his way back up through the collegiate ranks has already been floated as a possibility.Vikings ownership wasted literally no time parting ways with head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman following the end to a disappointing 8-9 season, cutting both loose on Monday, January 10. The same morning, Mike Ryan of the Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz, took to the air waves to report that Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is a prime candidate to return to the NFL as the leading man in Minnesota.
“I truly believe Lane Kiffin is probably gonna be the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings,” Ryan said on the popular sports podcast. “The reason why I think this is because of all the assistants leaving the Mississippi staff and I was told, ‘Look out for the Minnesota Vikings job.’ But he’s not a fit with Rick Spielman. Zimmer just got fired and Spielman just got fired. That’s oil and water, Lane Kiffin and Rick Speilman — not a fit. Now that they’ve cleaned house, look for a total coaching and culture overhaul in Minnesota, and I’ve got Lane Kiffin in the NFL again, possibly.”

seems like a fairy tale, and a bad one at that.

When they lost 3 starting CBs and started over with rookies, his D suffered. That is all. Of course losing Hunter 2 years in a row really helped as well.
Lane Kiffin?! That’d be, um, something… Didn’t he only last like 4 games with the Raiders?
