MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings' recent hiring of Gary Kubiak as assistant head coach/offensive advisor along with two members of his coaching entourage carried the perception that they were swooping in to steer the direction of the offense.
Kubiak’s role is unclear, but here are a few things we know: Kevin Stefanski will remain as offensive coordinator (a job he was hired for last week), Mike Zimmer will be able to keep his focus on the defensive side of the ball and Kubiak’s boatload of experience and wisdom from his nine seasons an NFL quarterback and more than 20 years as a playcaller will be an invaluable asset for an offense under pressure to turn things around.
