Mike Zimmer & Rick Spielman Fired
TheLeviathan replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Vikings Talk
Joe Judge QB sneaked on 2nd and 3rd down for punting room and keeps his job. Brian Flores miraculously pulls a .500 coaching record out of a tanking effort and gets fired. Yeah, NFL has no racial problems in their coaching at all. /sarcasm -
Mike Zimmer & Rick Spielman Fired
TheLeviathan replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Vikings Talk
Couldn't agree more. He's bad with the clock and he fails my biggest test for any manager/coach: is the whole more than the sum of the parts? Mike Zimmer always felt like he had to be handed exactly what he needed to be successful and never coached anyone to be more than that. He didn't take a bunch of grinders, use what they do well, and fit his defense to them. His whole always felt LESS than the sum of it's parts. Even when the defense were good to great, did they ever feel intimidating? Did you ever feel like the Vikings were up by 3, needed a cold-blooded defensive stop, and you just knew they'd come up, kick ass, and take that game? I never did. Zimmer hired bad assistants that couldn't coach offense and forced them to coach his way. He never found a coach who could help his offensive line or his corners progress. Or his quarterbacks. He just needed to go. Spielman's biggest sin was allowing Zimmer so much freedom and deference to make all those mistakes. Chief of which was letting him hire family. -
I put the QB on Spielman, I put the OL on Zimmer. I would've been ok hanging on to Spielman, but my biggest complaint is he gave Zimmer too much. He let him hire his own kids and his friend's kids. He sank every pick into Zimmer's precious DBs. He needed to be Zimmer's boss and he wasn't.

I would hire Brian Flores yesterday. Is the new top candidate for me.
-
Couple of fleaflickers would've for sure made up a 20 point deficit.
-
Thank god we didn't get our best player a record that was meaningful to him or a higher draft pick! Way more important that we got that meaningless win!
-
Sweet....the 18th pick in the draft. Totally worth it.
-
Good thing we didn't play the kids!
-
Sign me up for David Culley as OC. That team WAY overperformed for him.
-
This is the most fun Minnesota sports team since the '98 Vikings.
-
I like Doug Pederson too. Forgot about him. Cousins for Mayfield....who says no?
-
Barreiro has a bit, but at least it's tolerable and the conversations are good.
-
A lot of people thought Josh Allen was an atrocious draft decision who didn't know how to play QB. Early on he definitely struggled, but people in Buffalo credit Daboll with roughing out the edges and turning him into a gem. On top of that....it's a team that will call plays to their strength. If they feel it best....they simply don't run the ball. Other times, they're run heavy. He runs an offense that has transformed a QB and plays to it's best strengths. That's exactly what I want in the next coach.
-
100% this.
-
Right, it's bleeding money because it was an unsustainable model. You don't sink 550M into a money pit.
-
They both look like they belong for sure. Powerplay looked completely different with those guys.
-
It's probably a one. At worst it's a 2nd rounder and probably a future 3 or 4 to make that jump.
-
Daboll is my top choice. I do like Bowles and Mayo too.
-
You're welcome for the irrefutable proof you ignored in this tangent.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nfl.com/_amp/dolphins-acquire-no-6-pick-in-2021-draft-from-eagles-in-exchange-for-no-12-plus- It may surprise you that you and reality are deeply out of touch.
-
Winning could drop us even lower. It's likely a win on Sunday is roughly the price of an additional future 1st round pick. It can't be overstated how much a meaningless win would hurt this team.
-
The clown fits.
-
Wait....you mean the first they traded down with and now have another first this year? I'm sure Philly fans still lie awake at night in pain about tanking.
-
What a naive youth you were those many, many, many decades ago......
-
I think they brought him back. Maybe I misheard.
