The Vikings are giving nepotism a bad name.
Sunday night, during their 20-16 loss to Dallas, the Vikings looked like they were holding an internship tryout for inexperienced coaches. This is Mike Zimmer's fault. He set this mess in motion.
If Sunday's game was the game that will ultimately cost Zimmer his job, the fingerprints at the crime scene will look awfully familiar.
Zimmer followed a disgusting NFL tradition by hiring people he knew instead of people who might have been better than people he already knew.
This goes to the NFL's failures in diversity hiring, but it goes even farther than that.
