I think Arians and Andy Reid will grab some votes...but Rivera seems the obvious choice.

I'll put this here. Not worth creating a thread for, but this was a fun little read.

In an off-the-record film session – meaning we can’t go into great detail — Zimmer gave the local media a crash course in the Vikings’ defensive schematics and shed further light on his philosophies as a coach. Dumbing nothing down to layman’s terms, Zimmer’s willingness to give scribes a look behind his curtain reveals the complexity of the game of football and the knowledge gap between the average player and the average fan (as well as the average reporter).
Radio host Colin Cowherd once controversially argued that while a baseball writer could discuss strategy with any MLB manager, a football writer could never do the same with an NFL coach’s gameplan. This rings true after spending close to an hour in Zimmer’s world; a world where losing focus for five seconds means you’ve likely missed your coverage instructions and – like a second grader in math class, you’re terrified that the teacher is about to call on you – as Zimmer did several times with reporters.
