Heading into his eighth season with the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Mike Zimmer is running out of time to deliver the team a championship.

Few current head coaches around the NFL have likely been forced to overcome as many obstacles as Mike Zimmer has during his tenure with the Minnesota Vikings.

Zimmer had dealt with everything from Adrian Peterson missing most of a season due to suspension, being forced to play in a temporary home stadium, losing Teddy Bridgewater to a freak knee injury, almost losing one of his eyes, and dealing with the sudden passing of an assistant coach.
