Mike Zimmer: Will be fired| Is fired| Is getting fired| Wife
Will be fired:
Mike Zimmer is in his eighth season as the Vikings’ head coach. He is the seventh-longest-tenured coach in the NFL and ranks third all-time in wins as a Vikings coach with 69.
That may not be enough to save him if the Vikings don’t turn things around quickly.
Is fired:
That’s not where the Vikings were hoping to find themselves this year. Their struggles could punctuate a disappointing four-year stretch during which they had Super Bowl aspirations but were only able to make a single playoff appearance.
Zimmer could end up being the scapegoat for this. After all, the Vikings just lost to the previously 0-10-1 Lions, and fans began to turn on him. Will Minnesota’s ownership group follow suit? That’s the biggest question that Vikings fans will ask themselves as their team tries to avoid another disappointing season.
Is getting fired:
There’s no guarantee that Zimmer will be gone after this season, but barring a bounce back in the final five weeks, it seems like the Vikings will make a coaching change.
The Vikings have simply failed to live up to expectations in recent seasons. They went to the NFC Championship Game in 2018 when Case Keenum had a career season. However, they were shellacked by the Eagles and since that contest, the team hasn’t been able to fully right the ship.
Wife:
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has made his relationship with model Katarina Miketin official after a year’s worth of rumors.
The couple’s relationship had been suspected for about a year after the two were seen at a Vikings part in early October 2020.
