EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says he plans to become more involved with Minnesota's offense after firing offensive coordinator John DeFilippo after 13 games on Tuesday.
Zimmer addressed DeFilippo's dismissal the day after the Vikings lost 21-7 on Monday Night Football in Seattle. While this decision appeared to be building for a while based on Zimmer saying he didn't like the direction the offense was headed over the last four or five weeks, the coach was adamant that not one game nor one person was responsible for the current state of affairs.
