The Rise and Fall of Mike Zimmer as the 9th Minnesota Vikings Head Coach.
Mike Zimmer was the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2014 to 2021. He had his moments of glory, and moments of disappointment.
This is a different style of video that I have done, and made more of a documentary. Let me know what you think.

Damn, this was actually pretty sad. In all honesty, Zimmer endured some of the worst luck as head coach. All the missed field goals, all the injuries, Covid, his eye issue, O-Line can’t block, like 5 different QBs, 6 different offensive coordinators, and the list goes on. I’ll miss Zimmer but I’m glad there’s a new coach
When was the last time the patriots had a bad field goal kicker? Coaching matters in all parts of the game
@@TheFlairside it was Zimmer’s fault that Blair missed a 27 yard field goal? What about Dan Bailey missing 4 kicks in one game? Was that Zimmer’s fault too? How about Carlson missing 3 field goals against the Packers? How about Greg missing a short game winner against the Cardinals? All of that was Zimmer’s fault? Get real
Zimmer hates kickers and doesn’t think they should be part of the game but they are. He didn’t figure how to coach them and lost his job because of it. If those kicks are made is he still coaching??
Fuck Zimmer. He was privileged to have such a talented roster and he squandered it because he didn't want the offense getting more attention than the defense. His ego was more important to him than bringing a championship to our team. Fuck that guy.
I loved Zim, I just think he's not meant to head a team but be a D coach instead
i'm a vikings fan you did us justice also i remember all of these moments
Well done documentary. I'm Die hard fan. Zim did a great job turning around the team. The golden opportunity for Zim was the 2017 season and he/team let it get away.
He let it get away from the time he started till he got fired(granted we went 13-3 in 2017, but then got blown out by the eagles.)
That’s because he only focused on defense. A head coach can’t do that.
Great film, you summed it up perfectly!
Great video!
Very well done!!
He was decent! Too old school! Too defensive minded- ever since he eye problems I really don’t think he was the same.
Eagles game broke him. Defense was really never the same especially against good teams.
As a fan since 2009 I was 8. He lacked the Drive to win big games. We would come out unprepared and looking like chickens with no heads. His defense seemed so complicated it’s a game and a sport go out there do your job and have fun doing it. Don’t make it so complicated. I’m excited with KOC and KAM in Charge
You realize that this year’s defense is more complicated than the one Zimmer ran. Zimmers was actually pretty simple aside from his staple Double A gap blitz. This year they’re talking about running 3 safety’s out there at a time
They not looking so hot now.
@@raphael9783 Cause we can so judge him based off preseason games that the starters didn’t even play in😂😂
@@mnvikingsfan_1826 I'm judging his offense. Everybody hated Zim so much because a defensive guy wasn't hands on with the offense and the thought that we should throw it 40 times a game despite the fact that you have a top 5 back. It's crazy because I'm a lifelong fan since the 90s, but I'm waiting to watch people eat their words and switch up. We'll see if throwing it out 40 times a game gets us to the superbowl.
@@raphael9783 how do yk what his offense is? Have you spoken with him? Did he say we're gonna throw the ball 40 times every game? Did he say dalvin cook won't get his touches?
Good video! But the music in some parts is very loud and covers your voice up somewhat making it a little hard to hear. But I love the tribute!
I'm sorry but I can barely hear your voice with the music
Thank you for the feedback!

He never embraced Case Keenum, who took him further than he ever had, or will ever see again, playoff and record wise, and he should have. Instead he opted to pay a huge salary to someone who never did anything. Sorry, he got what he deserved. Go Case, still in the league after 11 seasons.
Good video but my god was the music loud. Could barely here the actual video
Look forward to the rise of koc !! Hopefully with no fall tho 🙏🙏🙏
Should’ve went into more depth on why he was fired to make it less sad, I love what Zim did for us fans who had little hope in 2013. It was time to move on tho.
2016's biggest mistake was trading for Sam Bradford. Shaun Hill was already capable enough to have lead the Minnesota offense, Bradford cost them a 1st rounder that really bit them hard, plus Bradford of course was a huge cap kill.
Moronic take.
@@heatgrimm8664 Yeah because Bradford's best getting them only 7 wins was so worth a 1st rounder and no playoff appearance. Very doubtful Shaun Hill would have done worse if the following season Case Keenum did great with the same exact team.
@@edman813 yeah and that 1st round pick helped the eagles win the sb the next year. We shoulda just tanked for a shot at mahomes(highly unlikely) or someone else. I liked the trade when we started 5-0 but after that collapse I was pissed
@@edman813 Their biggest mistake was drafting Teddy Bridgewater
@@solomonrodriguez7565 Bridgewater was 5-0 with the Saints.
Koc < zimmer
How many chances did Zimmer have to make the offensive line pro level?? 5? He never did what he should have done ✔ 🙄 😤 he lost his touch on defense and he had plenty of opportunities to make the team better... he stayed exactly the same as when he arrived and by then everyone knew our game plans and his tendencies as a coach.. every one was blaming Kirk 🙄 but he and Justin Jefferson and Cook and Thielen were stars 🌟 he was a great coach in his first 4 years and should have won a championship for the Minnesota vikings.. the Bridgewater team that lost because of BLAIR WALSH.. and then we got spanked with Keenum vs the SEAGULLS in the NFC championship game.. he did not have a good game plan and it seemed like our team didn't want to win... run run pass defense defense defense run run pass defense defense defense.. and then losing to a very tough 49rs team that we should have been able to beat but couldn't because of that terrible offensive line 🙄.. it's really the same old story as when I was younger and Gary Anderson phuct us out of a super bowl and then favre throwing a big interception instead of just running 3 yards and laying down... I believe 🙏 the curse is broken and the new Regime will take us to the top and the MINNESOTA VIKINGS WIL WIN THE SUPER BOWL... IT'S TIME!!!!
eagles
Amen!!
umm you are confusing the Jobs, Mike Zimmer Job was to hire the best possible talent for Coaching the team, the lack of talent on the O-line was on Rick Spielman, i get that Zim was the face but come on at a certain point ya gotta place blame properly and 2020 was entirely on the GM not getting any talent for the defense.
simple break down for ya
Zim HC control hiring and firing of Coaches
Rick GM controlled hiring and firing of players
@@johnkeith8619 Zimmer had how many different offensive coordinators? He had more power than you think.. we had 3 different guys in one year and NONE of them tried to fix it the way they are now.. but.. if Zimmer was going to fix the line on offense OR defensive side of the ball he would NEVER LEAVE BRADBURY THERE.. so yeah you are probably right
@@tim4cn759 he had 3 DCs. George edwards from 2014 thru 2018 or 2019. Adam and andre as co dc (stupid idea) from edwards end till last season.
OCs.
Turner from 2014 thru half of 2016 he quit when the team started losing becuase of his offense.
Shumur 2016 thru 2017 left to be a HC. Not a black mark on any HC
JDF. 2018 fired and Zim admitted to it being a mistake hire
Stefanski 2018 thru 2019. Left to he a HC. Once again not a black mark
Gary Kubiak 2020. Retired for the 3rd time. Not a black mark
Klint 2021 let go like everyone else.
So math time
3 DCs. None fired by Zim
6 OCs
1 black mark in JDF
2 left for higher jobs
1 retired for the 3rd time
1 quit like a bitch
1 couldn't continue because of regime change
Who’s here after Dallas picking this guy up as DC
Awesome video! 10/10 Also that's so cool 😎 I've never heard anybody else call them The Zimm Reapers besides me. I really wanted it 2 catch on way back when, so I tried to hashtag it a lot & everything I could 🤔 of; but nobody cared...😂 "I still think it's a BA name." Edit: I wrote this comment right before that outro, & I believe you're absolutely right it; was a smart decision to fire him. I STILL can't believe he didn't let Jefferson even get a chance to break the record his rookie season, because he was angry/spiteful. After he said some garbage about winning, in a game that we should have been trying to lose. They had like 10 mins left to try a pass to him, but all Vikings did was rush.
What is the song name/artist from 15:37 to the end of the video? Anyone know?
Sorry man, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/4rLzyk-kKQc/v-deo.html
He could have gone all the way with his teams if the chips had fallen differently. I will always think of him as one of the best Viking coaches.
“ I will always think of him as one of the best Vikings coaches “
Really now? I mean given we went 13-3 in 2017 but still we never made the Super Bowl parents, so why bother
Even Childress was better then Zimmer stop it 💀
3rd best coach in vikings history. I think the hate he gets isn't totally warranted. Just emotional overreacting.
Very good video. While the Vikes are 5-1 right now, look for them to crumble because they don't have that defense that only Zimmer could bring them. He was close to having rebuilt the defense when he was let go. They should have given him at least one more year IMO.
8-1
Finished 13-4
The defense with zimmer for his last 2 years was just as bad as this years. Read the Terrance Newman article about zimmer than come back to me
@@Johnhargrove18 It wasn't ranked as bad actually and Zimmer did not have any good pass rushers .. lost them both. He would have done better with good pass rushers. Not only that .. but the Vikings defense this year elevated every offense this year to be that nearly the same or as good as the Vikings offense. This is why all the close scores. It was clearly a problem and the 3-4 is a softer defense and gives way to much for too little.
@@russavsukraine1957 read the Terrance Newman article everyone grew sick of zimmers ways
great doc but get rid of the damn music
I really like Zim. It was time though.
Zimmer was a good couch but once his defensive strategies were figured out and it became apparent that he was getting outcoached in critical games (starting with the loss to the Eagles in the playoffs) it was clear that his time was running short, wish they would have moved on sooner.
Look I’ll at least give old man zimmer some credit from the 2017-18 season when we went 13-3 but lost the championship but that’s it. All other yrs up to him and spielcrap getting canned have been horrible
KOC better🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
we hope so but Zim was the best of the 2014 Hires can the luck hold up and KOC be the best of the 2022 hires
Yep, KOC A GOD, Kwesi too
Bridgewater, Bradford, Keenum. All zim needed was a Trent dilfer.
Lolol 14k views. 235 likes. Damn.
I will at least give old man zimmer credit for getting us to 13 and 3 in the 2017-18 season but I will never forgive him for that Eagles catastrophe during the nfc championship
Yea that was nice but it will happen again this year in 2022-23 if we don't keep our team grounded upright cuz the Eagles are good again.
and to that lineman who got in trouble w the law in Miami 2022, don't be screwing things up for the rest of em eh? I'd like to see the Vikes win a SB b4 I die, thank you very much.
The only thing I liked about Zimmer was that he also didn't like Kirk's cousin
It wasn't that he didn't like Kirk Cousins. He didn't like that Spielman over paid
to get him which took a lot of financial resources away from the Defense budget. The
sad part of it was the failure of the team on his watch came from him trying to bully too
many players and coaches on the team.
@@GregHakes doesn't mean you just don't try to work with him.
The music is way too loud I can’t even hear what you’re saying
You should’ve at least thanked Zim
OK let’s do it. Thank you old man Zimmer for letting us get blown out by the Eagles in the NFC championship 2017.😂
Thank you old man, Zimmer for being toxic to the Vikings and being the worst Vikings coach in history
But also, I would like to thank you for giving us a 7-9 season as well
Sorry, I meant early 2018 not 17
Like I said, he was a good coach but Vikings had too much potential. Out with the old and in with the new.
Mike Zimmer was a certified nut case. He tried to run a team like Bill Parcells did back in 2005. That
style of coaching is no longer accepted by players in the league. All his players got tired of all his complete
and utter nonsense and gave him the bare minimums. Zimmer ran too many good players and coaches out
of Minnesota that were smarter and tougher than him. He's just a guy who wanted to take credit for everything
even though he had very little to actually offer to the game.
no he isnt you will not find papers saying that Zim is crazy so not certified
I agree. I don’t know who Bill Parcells is tho. I didn’t start watching the Vikings till 2016.
Delete this. He did his best! He lost his wife and his son! Rip
He’s not gonna delete this Alex. Yes it was sad that Adam left us and that Mike’s wife died, but that doesn’t defeat the fact that old man Zimmer was toxic towards the vikes
Good coach bad team SKOL SO KEEP ON LOSING
Bad Coach, Good Team. Time to WIN, Go Vikings !!! SKOL.
@@GregHakes good coach went bad because team became mediocre,
it happens all the time but at least the vikings can say they won the 2014 HCing hires, Zim was the best of them. lets hope KOC is for 2022 or its gonna be a long year.
@@johnkeith8619 John, John, The team went bad because he went bad. He ran too many good players and coaches out of Minnesota and his coaching was mediocre at best.
@@GregHakes no the team went mediocre because, the vikings had some busts, I mean look no further than lasts years 3 3rd rounders none have done squat and most have been 3rd string even with the new staff, so don't come at me with the BS of Zim hates rookies because that tired ass comeback was false from day 1 of 2014 with Anthony Barr starting game 1 of his rookie season
@@johnkeith8619 Zimmer is old school and No NFL players likes that style anymore and it's non effective. They all got tired of his lame ass stick and turned on him because he was just a bitch that nobody liked anymore.
I liked Mike, unfortunately he had some bad luck with AP and kickers.......
