But I would see that as a long shot. Agree with this. Honestly whoever we end up with out of these two, I can’t be mad. “A” grade for a hire for who was realistically out there for us. Personally, I think Evero might be the better hire just because of the time spent with KOC, and maybe understanding each other a little more, but he still is slightly raw as a DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Who knows what is going on behind the scenes, but trying to read between the lines it sounds like Evero will ultimately be the guy in Minnesota. From the start it felt like the Vikings were waiting on someone to become available. This week we’ve learned that it is Evero. And now, all indications are that Denver will look elsewhere for the DC. If Evero had that sense from the beginning, it would certainly explain why the Vikings have been patient. That would leave the head coaching spots in Arizona and Indianapolis as the only obstacle, and Evero has been interviewed by both teams. However, Evero has been available since day one of the hiring period. If he had impressed enough to get one of those jobs, you’d have expected it to be done by now. Instead, both Arizona and Indianapolis have continued to add to their candidate list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m waiting on that and an indication the broncos will allow it. maybe that comes later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny is not really “really interested” in any of the candidates they interviewed thus far, maybe Flores but that’s it. they holding out for someone they didn’t interview yet, maybe Evero, maybe someone on KC/PHI Edited February 3, 2023 by CriminalMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting but there goes a big piece for sure. I assume Fangio suggested Denver because of ownership and or GM reasons. Evero and Flores if both of them are out potentially in the next few days then Minnesota could be really screwed and get sloppy seconds similar to the DL coach this past year and their DB coach. In terms of KC and Phi not sure who that would be, why leave being the DC at Phili to come to Minnesota? Same with KC really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then Fangio is at Miami? I thought he might want to go back to Denver to join Payton himself I guess that has changed. Either way Vikings are maybe going to lose out on all the good ones available. Ravens interviewing Todd Monken, he is by far the best guy available of the guys they have interviewed, he would be an outstanding hire. Guess he is possible for the Bucs OC job as well and Leftwich is left without a job when a year ago he was a potential HC to many. Tommy Rees going to Bama to be the OC, not as much, good guy but not sure he is Bama quality. If Evero interviews well which it seems that he absolutely does, he will probably be the Cardinals or the Colts Head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
