Kevin O’Connell’s first coaching staff with the Minnesota Vikings is nearly complete.
Numerous sources are reporting that the Vikings will be hiring Matt Daniels to be their new special teams coach, filling the spot vacated by Ryan Ficken when he took the same role with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Daniels had a brief career in the NFL as a player. He was an undrafted free agent out of Duke in 2012 and played in a handful of games for the St. Louis Rams and the San Diego Chargers over the course of four seasons.
