I found this article on ESPN interesting. I know it is Mike Zimmer talking about being an NFL coach, but a lot of it could read as if Molitor was saying it part way through next year. It talks a lot about the challenges of being an NFL coach for the first time. I wonder if Molitor is going to reach out to Zimmer at any point......

I hope Molitor reads that article and says "Thank the lord I'm not a football coach."

 

Zimmer has had a rough go of it this year. So many things went wrong, so many things that were completely out of his control. I hope he turns the Vikings into a respectable franchise again, both on and off the field. I think he can do it but it will take time.
