The Vikings parted ways with defensive coordinator Ed Donatell after only one season a year ago, entering the market for a new defensive play-caller in Kevin O’Connell’s staff. Donatell’s group ranked 30th in points and 31st in yards allowed, and scary was the career days of some subpar QBs like Mac Jones and Daniel Jones. That postseason loss led directly to Jones’ huge contract extension with the Giants and Donatell’s dismissal.
