For the last seven years, Mike Zimmer has been the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Zimmer’s tenure with the Vikings is the third-longest in the franchise’s history behind Dennis Green (10 seasons) and Bud Grant (18 seasons).

Before Minnesota brought in Zimmer, Leslie Frazier was the guy who held the job from 2011 to 2013. Under Frazier, the Vikings finished with less than six wins in a season twice, and they made the playoffs once on the back of an Adrian Peterson MVP campaign.
