MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings running backs coach Kirby Wilson, whose contract expires at midnight on Tuesday, will interview with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday to become their running game coordinator, according to a league source.
Wilson, who joined the Vikings as part of Mike Zimmer's coaching staff in 2014, interviewed for the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive coordinator job after 2014, and has long said his goal is to become a coordinator, after a house fire that nearly claimed his life also cost him his chance to become the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator. He went to the same high school in Los Angeles as Hue Jackson, who became the Browns' head coach earlier this month.
