Are Rick and Zim's Seats Getting Warm?
Alright. I've seen a few articles and posters today saying Zim should be gone after the year. Rick too.
I am generally in favor of continuity, but I do understand peoples' frustrations. We have a very talented roster that can't get over the hump. Not only that, but this season it's looking like we might not even get up to the hump. It's disappointing.
But you know what else is disappointing? Firing Denny Green and then having a carousel of bad coaching for decade after.
The grass isn't always greener.
MY TAKE:
Give Rick and Zim one more year to prove it. Throw everything we have into fixing the offensive line. Multiple high draft picks. FA money. Everything. Bring in a new OL coach if they want. See what this team can be with a bolstered OL.
If the team under-performs again, then reboot the FO. But I'd rather give Zimmer and Rick one year too many, then cut them a year too soon. It's entirely possible a new coach comes in and the existing players don't like him/her. Then we are really back to ground zero. Or it could work out great. Just don't know. But like I said, I lean conservatively on these things.
But then again I also still think we have a chance to win the NFCN this year so maybe I'm just a rube. What do you guys think?
@"twgerber" said: Anyone who wants Zim gone are over reacting IMO. Continuity is critical. It's not like this team hasn't won the North 2 of the last 3 years or anything right? Zim has had to deal with a ton of crazy stuff each year - and it seems like right before the year starts. He has handled it well and kept the team focused and in most games.They may make the playoffs this year still too.
If they do that will mean playoffs in 3 of the last 4 years and people want to clean house. Laughable.
I agree on Zimmer, however spielmans handling of some things has me wondering if his job shouldn't be in question. He hasn't had a quality oline IMO his entire tenure, some attempts haven't worked out, but that really should make him want to double down on talent the next year but he just keeps assembling the bare minimum and trying to get by...he doesnt seem to learn from his mistakes.

What a fool I've been to minimize those few hours of satisfaction and instead focus on the remaining 12 YEARS of continued mediocrity.I feel ashamed that I am unhappy with those results.....what a spoiled person I am.
I humbly apologize to TRUE fans like Sir James from the intellectual center of the universe, South Dakota.
Please, oh wise one, instruct us lowly folk as to the PROPER way to achieve Purple Nirvana.
We await your words of wisdom (after you finish diddling the sheep, of course).
Bless you!!
You could start by quit being such a dick and pulling your head out of your ass...feeling blessed yet you asshole?Seriously, your troll bit is beyond old you cock sucking piece of shit. You want to piss people off and push buttons to get a response to give your life a sense of accomplishment well congrats, I have responded to your trolling, I guess you can call today a win.
You see yourself as lowly folk...that's because you act like a piece of dog shit on here and that's how you get treated as a result.
You get off on belittling those that disagree with you at a Jr high level and you want to talk about intellect? You might want to rethink that strategy there Einstein .
And what is your facination with sheep? You seem to like to bring up sheep quite a bit. Perhaps there is a reason that they are fresh on your mind and why you are so angry.
Fuck off
LMAO!!! Right back atcha, you condescending, self-righteous asswipe.You sure like to dish it out, but you can't take it, can ya, you sheep-buggering douche bag!
YOU were the one who labeled ALL Vikings fans as spoiled. SMH. First off, who the fuck elected YOU the Commisioner of Vikings Fans? I sure dont recall seeing the ballot, and I know I'd rather elect one of the farm animals you routinely sodomize rather than you to that lofty position.
Second, you don't even understand how rude, codescending and smarmy that statement is to begin with. A typical mid-west "passive-agressive" statement that drives the majority of the rest of the nation nuts. And I'm sure you'll defend it with another p-a standby, "that's not what I meant, but if YOU took it that way, it's on YOU, not me". LOL! Always the victim, right? A perfect Vikings fan...."we never get beaten, we only beat ourselves"! I think you confusing the games with your "alone time" in the shower.
Third, since you are blind to your hypocricy and rudeness, you actually doubled down by having the unmitigated audacity to tell a long time poster, who just happened to simply disagree with YOUR OPINION, to root for other losing organizations and maybe then "see the light" that Vikings fans should be HONORED that we devote money, time, and most of all, emotional investment to this franchice. If THAT isn't the most pompous fucking declaration for a franchise with such a dismal playoff record, I sure as hell would like to see/hear the one that tops it.
In closing, I'll just say, why don't YOU root for the Vikings the way you want, and I'll do the same.
YOU don't reference ME in your asinine posts or respond to my posts, and I'll afford you the same courtesy. OK?
I'll also sign off in the same manner that you did.
FUCK YOU.
Happy Holidays!
