Vikings coaches Mike and Adam Zimmer putting heads together on ranch

Quarantined on 160 acres in Walton, Ky., Vikings co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Adam Zimmer can hit golf balls onto one of four greens, go fishing or skeet shooting, relax in a hot tub or cook ribs in the BBQ smoker.

It’s a posh setup, but not everything about it is glamorous: Zimmer’s boss works upstairs, and brusque requests for IT help are only a text message away.

“Number one, he can help me get all this stuff organized. If I can’t get it figured out, I can text him and say, ‘Come up here and fix this,’ ” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday on a video conference with reporters.
