Mike Zimmer was the Minnesota Vikings head coach from 2014 until he was fired in 2022 and replaced by Kevin O'Connell, he hasn't been on the sideline for a team since then, but that will all change this season.
FRISCO, Texas -- Eighteen years after he last served as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer is expected to be back in that role, a source confirmed Thursday night.
Many of those familiar with Mike Zimmer's pedigree realized that it wouldn't take long for the coach to find a new job if he wanted one. After being fired by the Minnesota Vikings following the 2021 season, Zimmer now has a new coaching home.
The Minnesota Vikings plan to start all of their available first-team players, including quarterback Kirk Cousins in Sunday's Week 18 game against the Bears.
