The Vikings filed their first batch of interview requests for head coaching candidates on Saturday, asking to speak with seven NFL assistants who are currently coaching in the playoffs.
The team has requested interviews with Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon and 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Since the Packers have a first-round bye, Hackett is eligible to speak with teams through the end of this weekend.
