ORIGINAL: ratoppenheimer . . supposedly, the wilfs and co. had a big pow-wow regarding the postseason and future of the vikings last night.... Zimmer owns a 71-56-1 career record with the Vikings. Minnesota just clinched its first back-to-back nonplayoff season under the 65-year-old. A loss Sunday against Chicago would mark the first time in Zimmer's tenure his club has suffered 10 defeats in a season. "Regardless of anything that goes on after the season, I can stand proud,'' Zimmer said, via the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "When I walk into a stadium like Lambeau (Field) or I walk into U.S. Bank Stadium and I say to myself, 'A billion people would love to be sitting here right now and doing this job."' The coach noted that speculation about his job comes with working in the NFL. "I do think it's different that people can talk about your job and being let go and things like that and not understanding the effects of all your coaches, effects of all the players, effects of their families and they say it after you lose every week,'' Zimmer said. "So they don't go around saying they should fire that doctor or fire that landscape guy or anything like that. So it's just part of the business, I guess." No they dont ... but tough shit, you knew that going in - Agree. his deal could very well pay him $8m in 2022, and $8m in 2023...a cool $16m to walk....
