The former Minnesota coach and Cowboys coordinator Mike Zimmer has been arrested for……
At last, a joyful moment returns as Mike Zimmer, the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys and former coach of the Vikings, talks about his terrible last days in Minnesota, the passing of his son Adam, and his desire to rejoin the NFL.
Former Vikings cornerback Kris Boyd has no hard feelings for Mike Zimmer, despite being the target of critical comments made by his former coach in a recent article in the Star Tribune.
In the Star Tribune piece, Zimmer took aim at several current and former members of the Vikings organization, expressing frustration with his exit. When Zimmer and then-general manager Rick Spielman were fired after the 2021-22 season, Boyd was among several Vikings players to criticize the tightly-wound environment during their final season with the team.
Boyd’s criticism didn’t appear to sit well with Zimmer.
“Kris Boyd? He says something about me?” Zimmer told the Star Tribune. “I’m like, ‘Dude, you had more special teams penalties than anyone I can remember.’”
Boyd, now with the Houston Texans, responded to the comments on his Instagram story and appeared surprised to catch the stray, but expressed nothing but gratitude for Zimmer, who is in his first season as the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys.
Damn Zim!!?? Out of everybody on the team, I loved you!!” Boyd said in his post. “Still do, and it won’t change!! You believed in me, and I’m nothing but grateful for it!”
Boyd participated in 58 games while playing for the Vikings between 2019 and 22. He was present during Kevin O’Connell’s inaugural season as head coach, and in his criticism of Zimmer, he drew attention to the differences between the two administrations. Boyd began the previous campaign with the Arizona Cardinals and then joined the Texans. This summer, the Texans re-signed him to a one-year contract.
Boyd has 97 tackles, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in his five-year career.
With a lower-body injury, Boyd was taken off the field during a preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. He apparently only had a bruised leg and escaped catastrophic injury.
