EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Mike Priefer spent eight years coaching in the college ranks before he got his shot in the NFL.
Priefer didn’t care that his first job was as a special teams assistant in Jacksonville in 2002; he was just happy to be in the league.
Now in his sixth season as the Vikings special teams coordinator, Priefer said there’s no job he’d rather have than leading the third phase of Minnesota’s unbeaten team.
Priefer explained the love he has for his job during a segment with “Voice of the Vikings” Paul Allen that will air at 6:30 tonight on KFAN 100.
