Vikings wire have a good list of options, there are some good options available who were position group coaches in Rams, Cowboys, DC from Wisconsin, Chargers.. Brian Flores would be nice if he wants DC job and would like to leave Steelers. Seahawks associate HC Sean Desai seems to be a choice too, lot of them seem to have worked with Fangio scheme. Some lateral moves for current DCs are proposed but these candidates are looking for HC promotion. https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/lists/minnesota-vikings-defensive-coordinator-ed-donatell-vic-fangio-sean-desai-mike-pettine-raheem-morris-jonathan-cooley/ I'd like anyone who can have at least a stable defense, having the ability to set up a very good run or pass defense if not both, if not elite.. At least having an identity in one way or other to start with would be good to compete in games. If they can coach up the CBs and find a good one in this draft or FA to help this season, that'd improve the defense. If most of Cine, Booth, Evans, Dantzler, Boyd could stay healthy and the new coach could make them and secondary play well, that's the kind of coach I'd want.

There was a lot mentioned of Vic Fangio defense. Why are they so enamored with that defense? I read on the Athletic that Wade Phillips is a possibility. He has been a successful DC wherever he goes but he is the father of our OC. I don't think I want that nepotism that we had during the Zimmer years.

Lot of young guys are out there looking to move up the rank, who has worked with Vic Fangio or similar defense set up by others. As KOC preferred 3-4 defense, media focuses on similar candidates, i guess. I think the key is to find suitable players for the defense, they did it with Zadarius Smith for the front seven, whoever they hire hopefully gets the personnel right for the coverage and shore up run defense up front.

But it appears the Cowboys were not happy with his play calling. He had a loaded offensive roster and they were pretty ordinary and predictable. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good. Just not when we are playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
