Despite the disappointing end to the Minnesota Vikings’ 2018 season, it appears there’s going to be a Zimmer coaching in January after all.
Adam Zimmer, Mike Zimmer’s son and the Vikings’ current linebacker coach, has been named as the head coach for the West Team for the upcoming East-West Shrine Game. The game will take place in St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday, 19 January.
This is the second year that a member of the Vikings’ coaching staff has served in this capacity for the East-West Shrine Game. Last year, Minnesota defensive coordinator George Edwards served as the coach of the West team.
