Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has sent a lot of mixed signals when it comes to his support of veteran kicker Dan Bailey since Bailey’s implosion against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He’s said things like Bailey is a “good kid” and “If you guys want me to fire guys for making a mistake here or there, we wouldn’t have any players,” Zimmer later added. “Let’s not put this all on Dan Bailey.”
He juxtaposed that with: “At this point, we’re not really worried about feelings anymore,” Zimmer said, via Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune.
