Should the Vikings make a head coaching change this offseason? FrontOffice33 | SKOL
The Minnesota Vikings were thoroughly embarrassed by their arch-rival Green Bay Packers in front of a national audience on Sunday night. As he's done so many times before, Aaron Rodgers haunted the Vikings to the tune of 288 passing yards and two touchdowns in what turned out to be an extremely straightforward victory for MVP-candidate Rodgers and his Packers.
Although the result went as largely predicted given the circumstances, it did confirm some unfortunate facts for the Vikings and their passionate fan base. At 7-9, the Vikings will finish below .500 for the second consecutive season following last year's disappointing 7-9 record. Head coach Mike Zimmer has failed to usher his Vikings to the postseason for the second time in as many tries and the Vikings may be better suited going in a different direction this offseason.
Zimmer was initially hired ahead of the 2014 campaign. His fiery and aggressive mindset quickly left a positive impact on Minnesota's franchise, although the gift of time has now revealed far less desirable results. The sample size on Zimmer's tenure now stands at eight completed seasons and the results paint an extremely inconsistent picture. Zimmer has led the Vikings to the playoffs on just three occasions in eight attempts. It’s hardly the results you strive for.
General manager Rick Spielman holds Zimmer in great regard, but the time to usher the franchise in a different direction is now. The game is changing now more than ever before. In a forward-thinking league that prioritizes offensive brilliance and the young hotshot coaches that can deliver offensive schemes and game plans that place an unwavering amount of stress on opposing defenses, Zimmer's old-school team-building philosophy sticks out like a dinosaur in a Walgreens.
Zimmer is currently on his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons, a fact that reflects negatively on his ability to help Minnesota build a consistent offense with any sort of success.
