EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings on Thursday announced the hiring of Darrell Hazell as receivers coach and of Derick Keyes as an assistant strength and conditioning assistant.
Hazell was most recently head coach of the Purdue Boilermakers from 2013-16. Prior to that he was head coach of the Kent State Golden Flashes from 2011-12, where he was selected as the MAC Coach of the Year in his second season.
A considerable amount of Hazell’s coaching experience has involved working with receivers, but he also has coached running backs and tight ends, as well as been an offensive coordinator or assistant head coach in a career that began in 1986 at Oberlin College.
