The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added another name to their list of head coaching interviews. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Tampa requested to interview Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards.
Edwards spent the last five seasons under Mike Zimmer as the Vikings’ defensive play caller. Throughout the past three seasons, Minnesota boasted a top ten defense in yards and points.
His unit performed best in 2017 when they were the best defense in the NFL. It resulted in an NFC Championship appearance.
Edwards interviewed for head coaching positions last season, but he didn’t get a job offer.
