If they don't like getting called out, step up and play better. This ain't peewee ball. Coach has the right to call out whoever he wants. He should have been benching some more of them to get their attention.Mothman wrote: Regardless of what was said last year or how people feel about Frazier, Tice and other previous coaches, the current Vikings and their current coach have serious problems. This season has gone off the rails. Starting DBs who have played for Zimmer for years chose to disregard his coaching. His long-time friend and OC Norv Turner left mid-season. The team has been blown out two weeks in a row and they've followed up a 5-0 start with a 2-8 record. To put that in perspective, that's one game better than the Browns and 49ers over the same number of games. It's the same record next week's opponent, the 3-13 Bears have over the same period of time and it includes a loss to those Bears.
Players do get tired of being called out in the press. That could be a factor in what's been happening. If you read Matt Coller's article above, it certainly sounds like at least some members of the team are losing confidence in the coaching.
Personally, I think there's definitely more to the Vikings' demise than just injuries and some bad luck.
I think he let the mutiny go on in the first half just to send a message and let em get embarrassed. More or less show he was right that their plan sucked and his was right. If the vikings get rid of Zim they will regret it.
