Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer is entering his seventh season as head coach of the Vikings.
Zimmer is in the last year of his contract with the team, but according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, that might change soon.
Pelissero reported that the Vikings are finalizing a multi-year contract extension with Zimmer.
There was a report from Chad Graff of The Athletic earlier this offseason that “there’s growing tension” between Zimmer and the Vikings regarding a new deal.
Zimmer has a record of 57-38-1 as coach of the Vikings. He has made the playoffs three times with Minnesota. Most recently, the team finished 10-6 in the regular season, and followed that up with a playoff victory over the Saints. The Vikings then lost to the 49ers in their next playoff game.
