vikesfan89 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I can't imagine stefanski was very close to getting the browns job. They were both OCs for less than a year so it didn't make any sense to not go in house with the guy that turned the offense around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I still believe that second interview was to try and get him to come there as an OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be great because he would bring a pure zone scheme here to us. Instead of a mix of power zones like we have here, which is so outdated in today’s NFL with the talent levels of OL and DL’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were people happy with Shurmer's interim period and excited to have him back at OC in 2017? Everyone was skeptical but the popular line at the time was "let's see what he can do with a full offseason to implement his playbook" or something to that effect. Why not do the same for Stefanski? I put almost none. Offense looked great against Miami. Above-average against Detroit. Dreadful against Chicago. Pretty much par for the course of the season. The best OC in the history of the sport couldn't have salvaged much in 3 games. Maybe a half a season but the guy was stuck with what JDF laid for a foundation. All he could do is rearrange the living room to make it look better. Same crap, different spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I would be very happy with Philbin as the OL coach. I was hoping for Campen, but Philbin might even be better. He’s not just a great teacher, but he’s a solid x’s & o’s guy, which should benefit the run game even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think I would still make a strong push to bring Russ Grimm out of retirement. His line improved wherever he's been a coach. Philbin doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence...and, I wonder if his presence would mean that Stefanski would constantly looking over his shoulder. If Stefanski is the "guy," you've almost have to give him a year where he can focus on his job rather than saving his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stefanski is the "guy," you've almost have to give him a year where he can focus on his job rather than saving his job. That's a good point. Although maybe Philbin is at the point in his career where he is totally happy going back to his roots and being a position coach like Sparano was. With Stefanski surviving so many different regimes, I hope he has enough confidence to feel secure and use the resources around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmer: “Kevin is a smart young coach with a bright future. I’m happy to have him take over the offensive coordinator job. His work ethic and teaching ability have been obvious to me behind the scenes since I came here five years ago. He’s well respected by coaches and players both and I know he’s up to the task.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/09/vikings-announce-kevin-stefanskis-return/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
