Word coming out from the StarTribune and PFT is that Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has been offered a multi-year contract extension.
Zimmer is 64 and was in the last year of his contract. This ends any speculation on his future, although the details on the contract are not yet known.
Zimmer is the third winningest coach in Vikings history, although he’s yet to coach his team to a Super Bowl appearance, or victory. His team has brought sudden death to the Saints twice in the playoffs, and he suffered the same fate at the foot of Blair Walsh, while getting steamrolled by the Eagles and 49ers to end the Vikings post-season in ‘17 and ‘19.
