The Vikings have a pair of strong candidates for their defensive coordinator job as their search stretches into its third week. The intricacies of the NFL's interview process, though, mean they're at least a few days from finding Ed Donatell's replacement.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Vikings placed a formal request on Friday to interview Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who worked with coach Kevin O'Connell for two seasons in Los Angeles.
Because Evero remains under contract with Denver, however, new Broncos coach Sean Payton would have to grant permission for him to interview for other jobs.
