Spoke to Mike Zimmer briefly. Asked if he was offered the HC position, he said no. ...He's expected to remain in town Wednesday #Vikings

Usually when an offer is made, negotiations take place. And if there's significant interest, that can break relatively quickly. Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles could receive a second interview, but Zimmer has clearly generated the most interest. Due-diligence is a justified point (checking, re-checking other candidates), but it's interesting how slowed the pace has become.

Zimmer arrived at the team's headquarters on Tuesday and is expected to stay throughout the day on Wednesday.
