We haven’t really heard a whole lot from Mike Zimmer since the Minnesota Vikings fired him the day after the end of the 2021 regular season. However, he’s back into the world of football, landing on his feet in a place that you might not immediately think about.
Zimmer will be going to work for coach Deion Sanders at Jackson State University, where HBCU Gameday is reporting that he’s accepted a job as an analyst on Sanders’ staff.
According to Zimmer, Sanders played a huge role in his accepting the position.
“He can open up so many doors for these young men but I’m extremely impressed with the way he’s teaching them about life and not just football.
