Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer: ‘I get ansy’ without football

Minnesota Vikings fans know Mike Zimmer as a hard-nosed head coach who has led the team to a much improved defense in only one season with the squad. That kind of turnaround is amazing and takes someone with a sound football mind to accomplish.

Zimmer’s mind isn’t always on football though. There are times that he allows himself to get away from the sport and enjoy some of the simpler things in life. Playbooks, rosters, player development, schedules and all that other football-related information can take a back seat for a while. But not for too long.

A recent article on the Pioneer Press website had a great interview with Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer where he discussed what he likes to do during the offseason.
