Wow. I hope he does get fired and then people will see how good we had it with him. I think it will be a dark period if he is gone.

Honest question. Who would you hire as coach?

Regardless of what we think, I believe he gets to play out the last year of his deal along with Spielman. They
will be auditioning for a new deal. Cousins is a terrible fit with this OLine so they better figure that out in the offseason or it will be the same broken record next season.

A defense made up mostly of 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders coached by an alleged defensive guru gives up over 5 yards per play to a team missing its #1 and #2 receivers. At one time the bears had a linebacker and a cornerback playing offense today. Zimmers D could stop that?

I don't think it's passed him by but I've also thought since game 6 of the 2016 season that he's not really head coaching material.   Eventually they are going to have to go in a different direction but who knows when that might be.  The organization does not like change.

The defense gave up almost 170 yards on the ground and 3 rushing TDs.  Like the offense, the defense didn't hold up their end either.

At last. Someone with some sense. Zimmer has now become Brad Childress and Leslie Frazier. How many more season will be sacrificed before the Vikings realize that they will not win with them?

I am not kidding. Zimmer had had some raw deals to work with. QB and other significant injuries have been a big mess most of his time. Without the defense, we wouldn't have had as much success as we have had. Yes, the NFCC Game is a success. Knocking GB off the North throne several times is a success. I thi k the team doesn't reach those heights with a different coach. Do we have such short memories that we forgot what the years before Zimmer were like? The league is cyclical and consistency is important.

The o-line is and has been atrocious. Tough for any offense to be good with what we've put out.

I dont think there are hardly any candidates out there that would be better than Zimmer. I legitimately want to know candidates who could improve this team.

Hard to accept when Nagy in Chicago did it on his first try.

HMMMM...and who is the common denominator personnel "guru" for ALL of these HCs? What is his name again?

Don't tell me. I'm sure it'll come me eventually.

The Vikings have made the playoffs in ‘15 and ‘17, going to the NFC Championship game under Zimmer. The Bears havent been since ‘10. 

This lague is geared to make it fan friendly, unless youre the Patriots, repeating as Division Champs is no easy task.

Lets go back to the Les Frasier days, or even the Childress days. Childress only really got the KAO going when Favre came in ‘09.

It isnt great, but it hasnt been as bad as others. Mediocrity is the way the NFL wants things.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Schpielman is a documented weasel and is ALWAYS looking for his next scapegoat to cover his ass. DeFilippo was the first, the ST coach is next and, possibly, Zimmer. 

And the smarmy-ass loser with 2 playoff wins in 13 seasons will be moving on to his FOURTH Head Coach! LOL!

if making the playoffs here and there and then getting smoked in the playoffs is your thing fine stick with zim. worked well with lewis in cincy.  i am hoping for the bowl. league is changing and it isnt geared toward the kind of teams zim likes. i would look toward a youngeroffensive coach. that is the way it is going.

And for Nagy and McVay, there are tons more young coaches who have bombed out, big time. Gase, McDaniels. The NFL is full of fads. Best to be at the start of a trend then behind it. Offenses will change again, and I'm not sure there is a candidate who would do any better than what we have now. I am serious when I ask, who are potential candidates that would improve our team?
