Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, the Minnesota Vikings' head coach from 2014 to 2021, visited the team's training camp practice Sunday.
Zimmer's son, Adam, an assistant coach and coordinator for the Vikings for the past eight seasons, returned last month to a role with the Bengals, this time as an offensive consultant to head coach Zac Taylor.
From Bengals play-by-play announcer Dan Hoard via Twitter on Sunday:
From the Bengals via Twitter:
Adam Zimmer was an assistant defensive backs coach for the Bengals in 2013 when Mike was Cincinnati's defensive coordinator. When Mike became the Vikings' head coach after the 2013 season, Adam joined him as Minnesota's linebackers coach.
Adam wasn't retained as the Vikings' LBs coach and co-defensive coordinator after the team fired Mike in January. Adam said in February that his father, who was the Bengals' DC for six seasons, does have an interest in returning to coaching for "the right situation."
