TBH, I'm not real sure how the Minnesota ownership views Zimmer. Seems to me that they've given him all he could ask for and he's had relatively limited success. I suppose the rise of the Bears has something to do with this. I still find it tough to believe that he gets fired after just barely missing the Super Bowl last season.
As unusual as an owner who never fires coaches?
It's possible Zimmer would prefer the job security in Cincy. Plus it's not like he doesn't have connections there (and a home).
I wanted an offensive coach, but Zim is probably the only defensive guy I'd be cool with.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
