Mike Zimmer is the ninth coach in the Minnesota Vikings 58 years. This past season he moved into fourth place with 80 regular-season wins, passing Brad Childress who led the Vikings to 74 wins in just under five seasons.
If Zimmer has any thoughts of reaching the 158 wins that franchise leader Bud Grant amassed over 19 seasons, he will need to maintain his current pace for another 12 seasons—an unlikely scenario.
The Vikings’ second most successful coach is Dennis Green, who averaged more wins per season than any other coach at 9.
