'Mike wants everybody to be hard and that's Mike's problem.'
Mike Zimmer dished on some serious grievances and grudges stemming from his firing from the Minnesota Vikings at the end of the 2021 season and there are a couple of former linemen who played under Zimmer who aren't one bit surprised.
"If you have a GM and a head coach that don't speak about roster, you're dead in the water," Sirles said. "Reading that article as I read it, it sounded like the relationship 100% fractured in 2018. When they signed Kirk Cousins, that was the fracture and it never mended.""Remember back in '18 we were all like 'there's no way Zimmer likes this guy,'" Boone said.
Sirles, who played for Minnesota in 2016 after playing two years with the Chargers, said it was a massive change going from playing under offensive-minded head coach Mike McCoy to Zimmer, who was all about defense.
