60. . Head Coach. Minnesota Vikings. Mike Zimmer. 32. player

Just look at that picture…

Do you really want to have a beer with a guy that is capable of having that look on his face? Granted, Mike Zimmer might just be a little cranky because it’s so cold in Minnesota, but his on-field demeanor doesn’t strike you as that of a man who wants to sit down over a cold brew and shoot the sh*t.

Coach Zimmer doesn’t smile. Does anyone know if he even has teeth? If you need extra evidence the Viking’s head coach is just a downright party pooper, see below. (Skip to 1:53 to see what I’m taking about).

SEE! Rumors abound about the personality of the Peoria, Illinois native, and they aren’t good. When the word around the NFL is that you scowl more than any other head football coach in the country, you can’t be disappointed you’re not first on a list of NFL head coaches I’d like to share a beer with.

Look, the man is a great coach and a terrific leader. But he just doesn’t have the character of a great drinking buddy — you know, someone with more personality than a blade of grass. Couple that with my supreme lack of intent to go to Minneapolis any time soon, and you’ve got No. 32 on my countdown.
