Mike Zimmer, Terence Newman have unique player/coach bond

Post by dead_poet »

Good story by Goessling.
"If you could just be in the Hall of Fame for what you've done for teams, he'd be in there for sure," Newman said, as Zimmer turned away and muttered, "Oh, my God."

"That's serious, though," Newman said. "We had a conversation the other day where, a team lines up and he calls out the play. They just line up and he calls out the play -- and they run the play. I've seen him do it countless times. It's just amazing. He knows everything about the game."

Zimmer seems to have more than a few of these relationships that were cultivated throughout his years in the league. I can't wait until we start hearing these stories from relationships built in Minnesota.
