Zimmer inherited a team with multiple Pro Bowl players (OT Matt Kalil, LB Chad Greenway, K Blair Walsh, KR Cordarrell Patterson, TE Kyle Rudolph)
Lewis inherited a team with zero Pro Bowl players.
Marvin stepped into a much worse position than Mike Zimmer.
The Vikes were still not as good of a team at that time as ours was IMHO. Plus he already knew the players
and had their respect, he knew the team as a whole much better than going anywhere else.
I think Zimmer would of done better here than in Minnesota right off the bat...
But this is just assumption and speculation of course.
