The Minnesota Vikings have certainly been busy hiring coaches this off-season.
With the sudden death of Tony Sparano at the end of training camp and the quick coaching fix that failed on the Vikings’ offensive line, the disappointing debut of OC John DeFilippo (and QB Kirk Cousins), and the far-from-impressive performance of the special teams unit that culminated in a thoroughly disagreeable 8-7-1 2018 season, Minnesota decided to hit the “reset button” in a largely administrative fashion.
They began by bringing in Gary Kubiak, a guy who needs little introduction. As a player, NFL assistant and head coach with numerous Super Bowl rings in his collection, he will be an invaluable asset to Mike Zimmer and this Viking football team.
