Minnesota Vikings OC Gary Kubiak 'taking some time' to weigh options

MINNEAPOLIS - Vikings coach Mike Zimmer did not confirm whether Gary Kubiak plans to retire after 25 seasons coaching in the NFL, but shed light on the offensive coordinator's mindset headed into the offseason.

"He's taking some time to mentally think about the season and where he's at health-wise and he'll decide what he wants to do," Zimmer said Tuesday at his season-ending press conference.

A source confirmed to ESPN on Monday that Kubiak is mulling retirement after two seasons in Minnesota with the last year spent calling plays as the Vikings' offensive coordinator. Kubiak took over the role held by Kevin Stefanski from the end of the 2018 season through 2019 after he was hired as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns last January.
