vike daddy Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Desai joined the Seahawks in 2022 after spending the 2021 season as the defensive coordinator for the Bears. He was the safeties coach for two seasons and a defensive quality control coach for six seasons before moving up to that job in Chicago. The Vikings have also requested interviews with Steelers linebackers coach Brian Flores and Saints co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/01/22/dolphins-vikings-request-interviews-with-sean-desai/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Vikings have requested an interview with Saints co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. Nielsen has been with the Saints since becoming their defensive line coach in 2017. He continued working with that group after getting bumped up to co-defensive coordinator along with defensive backs coach Kris Richard when Dennis Allen became the head coach in New Orleans in 2022. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/01/22/vikings-request-interview-with-ryan-nielsen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s important to do, and I think after the success we had this year and coming up short of where we ultimately wanted to get to. I think it’s the right thing to do and I’ll make sure I go through that thorough process in doing so.” https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/lists/minnesota-vikings-defense-kevin-oconnell-ed-donatell/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1G-wgT_zbBqjDH51JJh-ifMjUKCYm85R5UIizoxI-4lJSFxtQ_ddMBmeY coachspeak, but at least he's correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 What i don’t want is a DC to come in and interview saying “i don’t think there needs to be ultra significant personnel changes on defence. It’s clear, this defence had its great moments, but generally the scheme was not aggressive enough. I would keep all of the great veterans defensive players that Vikings fans love, and maximize their strengths, while infusing some additional talent from yutes and free agents” i hope they start cutting/releasing players soon.
