NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, reported that the Vikings were finalizing a multi-year contract extension with Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer.
On Friday, the Vikings announced the deal. Zimmer signed a three-year extension, putting him under contract through the 2023 season.
“We are excited to have Coach Zimmer continue to lead the Minnesota Vikings this season and beyond,” Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf said via Vikings.com. “We strongly believe in his leadership and the team culture he’s fostered. We look forward to him furthering the team’s success of the previous six seasons and leading us to our ultimate goal of bringing a Super Bowl Championship to Minnesota.”
Zimmer is entering his seventh season as coach of the Vikings. This new deal means that he is no longer in the final year of his contract.
Zimmer has a record of 57-38-1 during his time with Minnesota, making the playoffs three times.
In 2019, the Vikings finished 10-6 in the regular season, and followed that up with a playoff victory over the Saints.
