Pat Shurmur to interview for Vikings RB coach vacancy (Report)

The Minnesota Vikings already have at least one candidate lined up in their search for a man to replace RB coach Kirby Wilson.

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the Vikings will interview former Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur for Wilson’s old position.

Shurmur served one game as interim head coach of the Eagles after the team fired Chip Kelly. Shurmur was given his release by the Eagles on Thursday.

The 50-year-old Shurmur served as Eagles OC from 2013-2015. He was head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 2011 to 2012.

Shurmur was offensive coordinator of the Rams from 2009-2010 and is reportedly being considered to return to that position.
