Vikings coach Mike Zimmer vows to restore 'nasty' mentality

Twice in the past four years, Mike Zimmer has led an up-and-coming Vikings team to an NFC North title, reaching the NFC Championship Game after the 2017 season. And twice in the past four years, Zimmer’s teams have followed up postseason trips by taking the division lead in October, only to lose it in the final months of the season, finish the year with an interim offensive coordinator and miss the playoffs.

Zimmer’s offseason to-do list after 2018, then, sounds fairly similar to the one that faced him after 2016: He must make a decision on his offensive coordinator, and he must figure out how to help his team re-establish its footing.
