Vikings Plan to Fire Mike Zimmer After Sunday's Season Finale Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings Plan to Fire Mike Zimmer After Sunday's Season Finale Against Chicago Bears

Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer might be coaching his last game for Minnesota on Sunday. 

The buzz in most NFL circles is that the team plans on moving on from the veteran coach. 

"Owners Zygi and Mark Wilf have kept their plans close to the vest. All signs point to the Wilfs moving on from Zimmer after eight seasons, but they hadn't communicated any decision to Zimmer or other team officials as of Saturday," Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero wrote. "Several sources with knowledge of the coaching landscape say the belief is the team will move on, as well."

Zimmer is 71-56-1 as head coach of the Vikings. Minnesota has missed the playoffs five times in the past eight seasons. He did help lead the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game in 2017, but most believe the organization is going to go in another direction. 

Zimmer served as the Bengals' defensive coordinator from 2008-13. His defense helped Cincinnati make the postseason in four of his six seasons.
