Mike Zimmer Could Enact Revenge As Green Bay’s Next Defensive Coordinator
Mike Zimmer could get his revenge as Green Bay’s next defensive coordinator
Imagine a happy spring 2024 at the TCO Productivity Center. Kirk Cousins has re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings to a two-year, $80 million contract. The Wilf family and Kevin O’Connell are proud on stage, while Kwesi Adofo-Mensah looks like a groom with a gun.
Cousins celebrate by taking off their shirts and wearing large Viking necklaces. It’s a great day to be a Viking. But on a farm in Walton, Kentucky, an entirely different scene is unfolding. Mike Zimmer sits in his basement, where several TV screens and a projector illuminate the walls. As the Red Man boxes were scattered, Zimmer looked at the third box as the phone rang. He couldn’t believe who was on the other end of the phone when he answered.
“Hi Mike, this is Matt LaFleur.” The other person said: “Are we looking for a new defensive coordinator? Are you interested?’
Zimmer posted a smile about the Marvel supervillain. He knew he had a chance. Zimmer had a chance to get revenge on the franchise that ostracized him.
