Vikings running backs coach Kirby Wilson headed to Cleveland

The Vikings are in need of a new running backs coach.

Kirby Wilson, who coached the running backs here the past two years, is no longer under contract with the organization as of today. And according to ESPN, Wilson is expected to join the Browns, who will name him the running game coordinator for new head coach Hue Jackson.

I’m told Kirby Wilson has officially signed with the #Browns to become their running game coordinator. He is leaving the #Vikings.

The Vikings, who made Wilson wait until his contract expired to interview with the Browns, were pretty pleased with Wilson during his time here.
