The Minnesota Vikings had some excellent options when it came to hiring a new offensive coordinator after losing Pat Shurmur to the New York Giants when he accepted a role as their new head coach.
One of the individuals considered for the position was quarterbacks coach Kevin Stefanski, who has been with the Vikings organization since 2006 and worked his way from being an assistant to the head coach to being a positional coach.
However, Minnesota decided not to make Stefanski their offensive coordinator and instead hired outside the organization by choosing former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback coach John DeFilippo for the position.
