Of course, all of the teams looking for a new head coach will also be looking for offensive and defensive coordinators once their new head coach is hired. The Vikings are competing with one team for a DC now. They will eventually be competing with six teams for a DC. Although, the head coach candidates are coming to interviews with a DC in mind. Perhaps the coaches seeking DC jobs on their own are currently unattached. Who knows? We should know all of the hires soon after the Super Bowl. The wait is excruciating.
