New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur left the Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator job to come lead Big Blue. However, he left no ill will in the head of his former boss Mike Zimmer, who was effusive in his praise for Shurmur, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
“Pat was, number one, he’s a great person, heck of a football coach,” Zimmer said. “He was always trying to be innovative and find a way to obviously help the quarterback and try to move the football. But I think the biggest thing with Pat, especially the last year he was with me, was it was important for him to figure out how to help the team win, and I think he always had that in his mind when we talked about what we had to do as a team and how we had to approach games and things like that.
