MANKATO, Minn. — A central tenet of Mike Zimmer’s coaching philosophy is “do your job, so the guy next to you can do his.”
Zimmer will be doing his for the foreseeable future thanks to a contract extension that was announced Thursday when the Vikings reported to Minnesota State University, Mankato for 2016 Verizon Vikings Training Camp.
“I feel very, very fortunate to be the coach of the Vikings,” Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said. “It’s a great organization with a lot of great people. There’s no reason we could have the success that we’ve had to this point without the help of the people in the front office and in the business.
