It’s been about 24 hours since the Minnesota Vikings fired both head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman. While Mark Wilf said at yesterday’s press conference that the team would be searching for a replacement for Spielman before a replacement for Zimmer, some news has emerged today that there’s already going to be an interview with a head coaching candidate.
Numerous sources, led by Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports, are reporting that the Vikings will be interviewing Doug Pederson for their head coaching vacancy.
Pederson, as we know, was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles from 2016 to 2020, winning a Super Bowl with them in 2017.
