skywindO2 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can definitely get behind Mularkey/Grimm package deal but my gut feeling is the plan is to stick with Stefanski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Speaking of Stefanski, he is officially a free agent as of today. Zimmer in his season ending press conference said he would know what to do before this day. We may here some more valid ideas coming in today for the OC search.

gopherwrestler Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 PA basically shot down Dirk Koetter as Vikings OC. Basically everybody but Stefanski he has done this to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zimmer blocking his being interviewed elsewhere last season for OC jobs may have slightly poisoned the relationship. Anyway, his play calling in the Chicago game pretty much convinced me he's not the guy the Vikings need anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not jumping up and down for him to return. He'd be a very underwhelming hire as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zimmer blocking his being interviewed elsewhere last season for OC jobs may have slightly poisoned the relationship Stefanski might not have any other offers to be an OC somewhere else. I don't think he would spurn an offer from Zimmer to be the Vikings OC to become anything less than on OC elsewhere. You are right though that if he is offered an OC job elsewhere he may find other OC positions more attractive than the available position with the Vikings. The Vikings let him get to coaching free agency. I don't blame the guy for taking full advantage and exploring his options and don't necessarily think that it is an indication of a currently sour relationship with the Vikings. Certainly could be though. Just like Stefanski may not have better options presented to him than returning to the Vikings, the Vikings might not have better options than bringing Stefanski back. You have to believe that top options will look for a job with greater stability than that offered by Zimmer and Spielman's current contracts. The Vikings may be left looking at the leftovers. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his limited portfolio at this time, I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His portfolio is basically that of DeFillipo last year. That's why I'm not excited. The big difference is that Stefanski has been with the organization for over a decade. I'd prefer someone with experience running an offense, I think that's the direction we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if this second interview with the Browns leads to an offer for Stefanski to join the Browns as a coach on the staff of eventual head coach Freddie Kitchens.

vikestyle Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 So Mularkey and Koetter off the market. Where do we go if it's not Stefanski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
