Mike Zimmer DID NOT like that — “that” being Kirk Cousins. And supposedly the whole team knew it.
Former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber said during a radio interview that the former Minnesota coach and the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback didn’t have a great relationship. In fact, Leber, who is now a sideline reporter for the team’s radio broadcasts, said it’s obvious that Zimmer wasn’t a huge fan of Cousins, adding that the 66-year-old coach held his signal caller back.
Zimmer was let go after the 2021 season, and the Vikings hired Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell to pair with Cousins in 2022.
