Now that the Vikings disappointing season has been unceremoniously put out of its misery, the time for off-season evaluations is upon us.
Let's start things off with the man at the helm - head coach Mike Zimmer
Mike Zimmer just completed his fifth year as head coach of the Vikings. Those five seasons have included three basically .500 seasons where his team finished out of the playoffs, two NFC North division titles, and one playoff win.
There may be an exception, but I believe most coaches that have made it to the Super Bowl as a head coach have done so within their first five years at the helm.
