Interview:
Amid speculation that he could be fired following the season finale after the Vikings missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, Zimmer said he had not heard anything about his job status or whether the Week 18 contest was his last as head coach.
“It’s not my choice,” Zimmer said. “It’s not my decision.”
“Let’s not go there today,” he added. “You want to talk about it tomorrow, then let’s talk about it tomorrow. But this isn’t time to reflect for eight years.”
