REPORT-- Coach Mike Zimmer likely leaving Vikings after playoffs

Post by Wobby_KFAN »

Hi everybody your favorite Wobby!

Get ready for massive Vikings Purple talk taking over the national media in the coming days!

Those close to the Vikings have informed me that Mike Zimmer your favorite head coach of the Minnesota Vikings has had discussions with Vikings ownership about stepping down following the '19 season. Which means next weekend could be the final game coached by Zimmer.

Indication once he steps down Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could make a play but as of now there is no feeling around the organization he is leaning this direction or if he is going to step away from the game all together.

Likely discussions that were had involved possible compensation if Zimmer does choose to continue to coach in the NFL, meaning the Cowboys would likely have to send 2019 draft choices the Vikings way.

Future Vikings head coach? I have heard nothing on any speculative hire but I would have to feel a sense of urgency surrounding Stefanski or Kubiak as they will be highly touted as potential hires elsewhere.

Stay tuned for more.

Oh this is just perfect timing for a story like this to be floating around just before the playoffs start. There is enough for these players to be worried about as far as preparation for the Saints and now this story pops up just creating doubt into the players psyche. What a fun week this is going to be!!!
