NFL Fans Are Calling For Mike Zimmer To Be Fired
Overall, Mike Zimmer has a solid run as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, but his time might be up after today’s loss in Detroit.
Leading 27-23 late in the fourth quarter, Zimmer’s Vikings surrendered a game-winning drive to the winless Lions.
Quarterback kJared Goff capped off the 14-play, 75-yard march with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown with no time remaining.

Minnesota fell to 5-7 with the loss, which is one of several heartbreaking defeats the Vikings have suffered this season. There has been speculation throughout the season about what would happen if Zimmer posted another losing record.
Well, after today’s game, many fans and analysts are not even bothering to wait around to find out. They think Zimmer needs to lose his job after his team became the 0-10-1 Lions’ first victim in 2021.
How do the Vikes not fire Mike Zimmer after this year?

Going to be a pair of HC openings in the NFC North in 5 weeks. No way Mike Zimmer can survive this one, right?

In other news, I can't envision a season where Matt Nagy or Mike Zimmer return as coaches

This is definitely the moment that prompts Mike Zimmer to lose his job. #Vikings #DETvsMIN https://t.co/imRMvKOjpL

In his first seven seasons, Zimmer posted four winning records with three playoff appearances. He led the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game in 2017.
There’s no doubt he’s had his fair share of high points in Minnesota, but it is fair to wonder if today was the death knell for his tenure.
