MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A day after announcing their new head coach, the Vikings have added a slew of assistants to Kevin O’Connell’s staff.
The big names among Thursday’s hires are Mike Pettine as assistant head coach and Ed Donatell as defensive coordinator.
This will be Pettine’s third stop in the NFC North after serving as defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers from 2018-2020 and as a senior defensive assistant for the Chicago Bears last season. He was also the head coach in Cleveland from 2014-2015.
Donatell coordinated the Denver Broncos’ defense for the past three seasons, and has served the same role for three other teams: Washington, Green Bay and Atlanta.
