On November 28, literally two weeks ago, John DeFilippo was mentioned as a candidate for the Cleveland Browns head coaching job.
Albert Breer of si.com’s Monday Morning Quarterback listed DeFilippo along with Lincoln Riley, Matt Campbell, Josh McDaniels and Eric Bieniemy as Browns candidates.
Twelve days later, DeFilippo was fired as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator.
Welcome to the fickle world of NFL coaching. Coaching stock goes up and down like the Trump economy. The hot candidate this week is out on the street next. The can’t-miss coach becomes the can’t-keep coach.
All of which is very good news for Oklahoma football.
