Feel the same, would love to get Zim back here. Burrow has a much higher upside than those QB's he has had in Minny.

Fwiw, Zimmer did go to a NFC Championship game, and was OT away from making a 2nd. So he was a game away from getting that chance to win a SB.
Also, you do know Minnesota has a GM, right? I'm pretty sure it's more of the GM getting what he wants than Mike Zimmer building out and selecting his all of his own players. He coaches the team he's given. And salary aside, Kirk Cousins is an average QB. It's not like the team went out and got him Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers.
I will agree with you that if he can't win it all there, then he's got virtually no chance to win it all here, with the way we're currently structured. By I think that's true of any coach. I don't think anyone can come in here and win a SB unless the FO is overhauled.
But I also think Zimmer is a quality HC, and a clearly better option than Taylor. I just went the best coach we can get. My only qualifications are "Is this a good coach?" and/or "Is this coach better than Zac Taylor?". I think I can answer both of those with a resounding yes when it comes to Mikey Z.
Agreed, we get a good coach in here and we will start winning games, that is a start.
