One of these days, someone is going to write a book about what really went on behind closed doors between former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer. But until that day comes, we’ll just have to hold on to the tidbits we get from random interviews.
Speaking of such, Spielman had some interesting things to say about his time working with Zimmer in Minnesota. During an appearance on NFL.com’s Move the Sticks Podcast, he talked about the difficulties of doing his job effectively with there being so much turnover within the assistant coaching staff.
“That’s a tough part of the job,” said Spielman. “I think we went through maybe six different [offensive coordinators] during coach Zimmer’s era. …It was constantly like a moving target all the time.”
