Zygi Wilf and the Vikings brass have had to make a lot of tough calls over the years, but this wasn’t one of them.
Extending Mike Zimmer was as no-brainer as no-brainers come.
Zimmer’s 18-14 record over two years doesn’t begin to tell the story of what the coach has done for this franchise.
Before Zimmer, the Vikings seemed without direction or identity as a team.
Since Zimmer’s arrival, the Vikings have taken on a clear personality and established themselves as one of the rising teams in the NFL.
Think back to how miserable the Vikings were in 2013, the year before Zimmer arrived.
