Last week, we told you that the Minnesota Vikings were wanting to fill their Offensive Coordinator vacancy by early this week. Well, we’re not into the latter portion of this week, and no announcement of a hiring has been made yet. There might be a good reason for that.
Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting that the team is, apparently, waiting on the NFL season to finish on Sunday so that they can interview Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback coach John DeFilippo for their Offensive Coordinator job.
DeFilippo’s name has come up for several jobs in the past, and he interviewed for the head coaching positions with the Chicago Bears and the Arizona Cardinals during Philadelphia’s bye week before the Divisional Playoffs.
