EAGAN, Minn. -- Not even a full day into his tenure as the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is already "deeply involved" in the team's search for its next head coach, according to co-owner Mark Wilf.
Speaking at his introductory news conference Thursday, Adofo-Mensah reiterated that the conversations he has had regarding candidates are only in the beginning stages but that the direction the franchise wants to go in is clear.
"We know what we want to find," Adofo-Mensah said. "We want leadership, we want somebody who is going to value the collective over the individual, we want somebody who has a vision, who can communicate, who has a solid football foundation, who understands how football is interconnected and what that means.
