Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer referenced a pair of mentors Tuesday afternoon when he met with the media about quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s significant knee injury.
One of the mentors was his late father, Bill, a longtime football and wrestling coach in Illinois. The second was Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Bill Parcells, whom Zimmer worked for at the Cowboys from 2003-06.
Peter King of The Monday Morning Quarterback caught up with Parcells on Tuesday night to inquire about some of the advice he gave Zimmer in a pair of phone conversations.
