Was Mike Zimmer a giant clown?
In your opinion was Zim a terrible head coach?
So far, it’s looking like the roster will be pretty familiar next season. If that’s the case then the only real big change is with the coaching. So, do you believe that Zim was so bad that he was holding this roster back? I honestly don’t know but that seems to be what the Wilfs believe and what they’re selling to the fanbase.
For the sake of the team and this fan’s sanity, I hope they are right and KOC can elevate this squad in ways Zim could not. But there was a time (8 months ago?) where most of the fanbase supported Zimmer. I’m just not sure I buy that he was the sole problem and now that he’s been eradicated everything will be daisies.
Now we understand why Z had such a hard time getting a HC gig in the first place. He's a red ass and red asses don't change.
Zim reportedly "pretty beaten up, not in a good place" after being fired...

Maybe the first time he's been force fed some introspection in over a decade.
Or maybe he is content to collect his $15 million dollar salary or whatever it is, from the Vikings this year, and enjoy his ranch. I would look for him to return to coaching defense in some capacity next year if he chooses to do that at his age.
Second hand information can lead to a lot of possible conclusions or rumors.
