The Minnesota Vikings can’t officially kick off the Kevin O’Connell era until Monday, but there is a trio of names that have emerged in the race to be the team’s next defensive coordinator.
Two of those three coaches have some familiarity with the Vikings, with one of them being former Chicago Bears’ defensive coordinator Sean Desai. Desai was the Bears’ defensive coordinator this past season, and prior to that was the safeties coach in Chicago for a couple of seasons and a defensive quality control coach for six seasons prior to that. With a new regime coming in for our NFC North rivals, Desai is looking for work, and the Vikings reportedly interviewed him on Tuesday.
