After losing their offensive and defensive coordinators, the Vikings promoted one guy who recently came out of retirement, one who has spent not one of his 38 years in coaching as an NFL coordinator, and the head coach’s son, who is 36 and has never before been a coordinator.
At first glance, you could be excused for thinking of these moves as a testament to NFL nepotism and cronyism sure to end in failure.
You should reconsider.
These moves are a testament to NFL nepotism and cronyism that have at least some chance of working.
The Vikings lost one coordinator to promotion and one via defection.
