Mike Zimmer recently signed a three-year contract extension, and it didn’t take long before the Vikings coach talked to reporters and spoke highly of the organization as a whole.
“I feel blessed to be able to continue on with the Minnesota Vikings,” Zimmer said, via Vikings.com. “I’ve had great help with our owners – they’ve given us everything that we’ve ever asked them to do – and great help with the front office, with [General Manager Rick Spielman] and [Executive Vice President of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski] and [Assistant General Manager George Paton] – those guys have been giving me a lot of help.”
Not only did Zimmer speak about the team, but he also had positive things to say about the state and Vikings fans:
“The fans have been outstanding to me. I love the culture in the state of Minnesota. I love the way that they’ve opened their arms to myself and our [Mike Zimmer Foundation],” via Vikings.com. “Hopefully we can continue to build upon this and get to where we need to be, which is in the Super Bowl.”
Zimmer is entering his seventh season as coach of the team. He has three playoff berths and a career 57-38-1 record with Minnesota.
