Message: <blockquote data-quote="RSteve" data-source="post: 570047" data-attributes="member: 164">In the aftermath of the terminations, Spielman is publicly displaying what a complete jerk he's always been. He's basically thrown Zimmer under the proverbial bus, taking no responsibility for the ridiculous expenditure made for Kirk Cousins, when it's pretty clear that Zimmer was opposed to that signing. On two national radio/TV shows, Spielman has said that his former team (Vikings) were in need of a head coach who has a offense minded outlook, and can effectively communicate with the team quarterback. He's basically ripping Zimmer, who prior to being the Vikings head coach, was always a coach on defense. It's come out in the media that during the last three months of Spielman/Zimmer, Spielman never spoke to Zimmer. Obviously, Zimmer knew that he was "done" long before the actual termination.I'd be very surprised to see Spielman or Zimmer hired for positions similar to those they had in MN. Zimmer could be hired as a defensive coordinator, but he's still owed $15 million a year for two more years on his Vikings contract. I assume that if he takes a coordinator job with another team, he'll forfeit what he's owed by the Vikings. If he waits two years before seeking another job, he'll be 67-years-old and an artifact.</blockquote>
