The Minnesota Vikings will hire Mike Zimmer as their head coach, a league source told ESPN.
Zimmer, who has spent the last five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive coordinator, and the Vikings had been in negotiations in an effort to complete a deal Wednesday, according to league sources.
Zimmer remained overnight after his second interview Tuesday was finished, with Vikings owner Zygi Wilf more centrally involved in the session, sources told ESPN.
