MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Zimmer has managed to conduct some extra strategy sessions during this sequestered NFL offseason, despite being disconnected from all of his players and almost all of his staff.
That's because the Minnesota Vikings head coach has his newly appointed co-defensive coordinator spending these homebound days with him.
Adam Zimmer, of course, is his son. They've both been living this spring with one of Zimmer's adult daughters — the other is married — at the family's sprawling ranch in Kentucky, making communication with one of his key assistants as easy as yelling toward the basement.
