After a 13-4 season, the Minnesota Vikings have lost a number of their coaches to other teams as these (often rebuilding) teams try to turn around their futures by hiring up-and-coming coaches. So far, there have been 5 coaches that the Vikings have lost to other teams this offseason. Today, we’re going to go over all of them.
Ed Donatell
Of course, Ed Donatell was the first Vikings coach to leave the organization after he was fired back in January. The defensive coordinator did not have a terrific season in his sole year in Minnesota as the Vikings defense ranked 27th in the business per DVOA, 30th in points allowed, and 31st in yards surrendered.
