SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR IS TAKING OVER FOR HEAD COACH MIKE ZIMMER. KICKOFF IS 7:25. COACH ZIMMER IS OUT RECOVERING FROM SURGERY. HE HAD SURGERY ON HIS RETINA LAST NIGHT. WE HAVE MARK ROSEN OUTSIDE OF THE STADIUM WHERE NO DOUBT HIS PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED. Reporter: THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COACH. COAST — COACH ZIMMER IS SUPPOSED TO READ THIS I SHIP. THE SURGERY COULD NOT WAIT HOWEVER, AS I FOUND OUT TODAY. AMIDST THE UP AND DOWNS OF THIS TUMULTUOUS SEASON, ONE THING HAS REMAINED STEADY, SUPPORT FOR THE LEADER. IN ZIMMER WE TRUST. Reporter: UNTIL NOW, THE COACHES OUT. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS. Reporter: EYE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR THE PAST MONTH, HASN’T GONE AWAY. YOU ARE ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE. I’M SORRY.
