gopherwrestler Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Honestly must not be planning on DeFlippo staying long. Almost makes me wonder even more if we look for a QB early in this draft. Let these two develop and work with him. Also helps me lean more on Case staying.

DeFlip would have signed off on this so wants Stefanski on board, probably for continuity. i see it as a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can thrive under him I wouldn’t expect DeFlippo to be around all that long. One or two more years and another system for Stefanski to learn under. It is a very good thing.

It isn't a great way to maintain high morale in the building. Even coaches that didn't have the opportunity to leave see this happening and realize it is only a matter of time until they are the one in that position.

minutemancl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Doesn't feel right that a team can block what is really a move up just because all "assistant" coach positions are viewed as lateral moves. Feels even more wrong after Stefanski was passed over by the Vikings for their OC then is denied an opportunity to get that job elsewhere. Definitely feel a little jilted as a Giants fan.

Could very well be Stefanski wanted to stay and didn’t want to turn down Shurmur. Hiding out there without ever really calling plays, what are you accomplishing. Really would be just another coach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he doesn't fit into the category that I don't care for: holding a coach hostage that has an opportunity at a promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as long as Zimmer had to wait and try to get a head coaching job, I just find it hard that he would be a part responsible from holding another coach from improving his job title.

vike daddy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 10 minutes ago, gopherwrestler said: Could very well be Stefanski wanted to stay and didn’t want to turn down Shurmur. exactly. or preferred to work under DeFlip instead of Shurmur.

Heimdallr Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Absolute home run for Vikings. Not sure if Stefanski wanted to stay or not, but having him as a potential OC-in-waiting if DeFilipio leaves is HUGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddle Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 How long is Zim going to coach? Love the guy and I want him to stay as long as he loves it, but it is pragmatic to recognize that he is 61 already. Given that he has already experienced some health issues, he may have already had preliminary long term discussions with upper management. I am confident that we aren't making any contingency plans official, but I see it as likely that Slick Rick could also be lining up in-house candidates that could succeed Zim should he decide to drop the mic and walk away after we win the dance down in Hotlanta next year!
