MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings owner Zygi Wilf grew up a Giants fan while living in North Jersey so excuse his tempered enthusiasm for Pat Shurmur leaving for the head coaching job with the Giants.
“I’m disappointed,” Wilf told Newsday on Monday. “I’m really happy for him and I’m really happy for the team.”
Shurmur was named the head coach of the Giants last week and met with the media in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Friday.
“The bottom line is he’s a great guy, a great guy to work with,” Wilf said. “I’ll be reading about him in the papers every day and wish him the best unless they play us.
