Back on Wednesday, January 9th, the Vikings promoted Kevin Stefanski to offensive coordinator. That same day, it was reported that Gary Kubiak would return to coaching as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator. Those reports turned out to be pre-mature, and two days later - Friday - it was reported that there were some disagreements in Denver and Kubiak would not be the offensive coordinator. The Vikings immediately reached out to Kubiak, set-up a meeting for Monday morning, and hired him that day.
The timing of those events may lead some to wonder who the Vikings’ offensive coordinator would be today if Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman had known Gary Kubiak would be available a few days earlier.
