On Wednesday, Minnesota Vikings’ head coach Mike Zimmer added another long-time NFL coach to his defensive coaching staff.
The team has hired Paul Guenther as a senior defensive assistant. The announcement came down earlier on Wednesday.
Guenther. . .and stop me if you’ve heard this one. . .has worked with Mike Zimmer in the past, as the two were on the Cincinnati Bengals’ coaching staff together. When Zimmer took the job as the head coach in Minnesota, Guenther was promoted from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator, a job he held through the 2017 season.
