vikesfan89 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 15 minutes ago, SemperFeist said: If the Vikings were sold on Stefanski, he’d have the job by now. And since he doesn’t, he could have easily moved on. With no interview reported, only interest per an anonymous source, I’m more inclined to believe that the “interest” from New York is misinformation put out by Stefanski’s agent to try and force the Vikings’ hand. He could want to stay here so he's giving the Vikings a chance before looking elsewhere. Although if the Giants wanted him, I'd think he'd at least interview there by now and let Zimmer make a decision before accepting the Giants job.

Heimdallr Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Why would Shurmur need to interview Stefanski? They would be working together every day for two years, and if Shurmur wanted to talk to Kevin about working for him he would have done it while he was still in Minnesota.

While shurmur is likely going to have a big hand in on the offense, he’ll have many other responsibilities that he’ll need to rely on his coordinators for certain things. And considering how fast the Giants hired a defensive coordinator, I question how much say a Shurmur has in his staff, or if Gettleman has his hand in things. In which case, Stefanski would likely need to interview with the GM, as well as the head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, Stefanski may want to leave if he doesn't get the OC job this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a slight difference between Shurmur interviewing Stefanski and Zimmer interviewing Stefanski, as there is a whole other level of management in between them while working here. Zimmer, while he certainly knows Stefanski, may not have dealt with him as closely on a daily basis as Shurmur did. I personally buy the argument first that Stefanski is waiting on the outcome of his interview with Zimmer. It doesn't affect Shurmur either way because Shurmur's going to be the one in full charge of the offense in NY and will be calling the plays. Stefanski would just be Shurmur's version of George Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I do find it interesting that we haven’t heard of any other team interviews regarding the candidates we’ve interviewed. And that’s why I think Bevell is likely the leading candidate for the job. Although, there’s clearly some very strong interest in DeFilippo.

VikeManDan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I honestly don't know if I could rank these candidates in the order I'd want them. They each seem to bring something different to the table which is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do appear to each bring along something a little different, yet, they all have some sort of connection to either each other or Sparano.

Imagine the Vikings is most appealing due to combination of talent as well as the ability to run the show. McDaniels and Shurmur will be calling the plays. ETA: Could add Patriots since they will have to replace McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Quote Jordan Raanan of ESPN, citing multiple sources, reports that new Giants HC Pat Shurmur is waiting on Vikings QBs coach Kevin Stefanski before hiring someone for the team’s offensive coordinator vacancy. http://nfltraderumors.co/giants-believed-waiting-vikings-qbs-coach-kevin-stefanski-hiring-new-oc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we want him to stay in the organization, it probably has to be as OC. He's not turning down a OC job elsewhere to be QB coach here, I'd assume.

You’d have to admit that if he goes to NY he’s really only going to be an OC in title only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
