It sounds like the Vikings will hire a kicking coach this spring.
When asked Friday about the addition, which Zimmer has mulled this offseason, he indicated the team will add a personalized coach for kicker Dan Bailey, who signed a one-year, $1 million contract to stay in Minnesota. The first full team practice is May 21.
“We’re working on it, yeah,” Zimmer said after the first practice of this weekend’s three-day rookie minicamp.
The Vikings ranked last in field goal percentage (68.6 percent) last season, at the start of which rookie Daniel Carlson was cut after missing three field goals in a Week 2 tie at Green Bay.
