A lot of things went wrong for the Minnesota Vikings last year, but one of the best developments came when Terence Newman retired and became part of the team’s coaching staff. Under his watch, several young cornerbacks either improved (Mackensie Alexander) or caught on quickly (Mike Hughes, Holton Hill) to Mike Zimmer’s defensive scheme.
The overall effect of Newman’s addition to the staff helped the Vikings rank third in passing defense last season despite lost years from starters Xavier Rhodes and Andrew Sendejo. Despite the successful beginning to Newman’s coaching career, a report from KSTP-TV’s Darren Wolfson says that it could be a short one as the 42-year old is contemplating whether to come back.
