Vikings hire Eagles QB coach John DeFilippo to run offense
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — John DeFilippo stood on top of a double-decker bus with the rest of the Eagles, as they cruised through raucous downtown Philadelphia on Thursday to celebrate the franchise's first championship in 57 years.
Hours later, the Minnesota Vikings handed him the keys to their offense.
DeFilippo has had quite the ride in two seasons as quarterbacks coach for the Eagles.
"How many guys can say they participated in a Super Bowl parade in the morning and became one of 32 play-callers in the National Football League that night? That's a pretty good deal," DeFilippo said. "It was a whirlwind, but it was a whirlwind that was 100 percent worth it, professionally and personally."
