It appears that the 2024 Minnesota Vikings Coaching Staff is finally finalized. There are a few changes from last year to this year. Those changes actually started last summer. Outside linebacker coach Mike Smith took personal leave from the team during training camp. Defensive line coach Chris Rumph left the team during the season. In December, he was hired to coach the Clemson defensive line. So, he had a new job before it was revealed that he no longer had his last job. The Vikings also had to replace assistant offensive line coach Justin Rascati. He received a big promotion to pass game coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. To replace Smith, assistant head coach Mike Pettine added outside linebacker duties. He handled the role last season. To replace Rumph, Marcus Dixon was hired away from the Denver Broncos. To replace Rascati, the Kevin O’Connell looked to the former Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff of his close friend Brandon Staley. Shaun Sarrett will assist Chris Kuper with the offensive line.

Defensive Line: Marcus Dixon

On the surface, “assistant to the head coach” sounds like it has more of an administrative role than a coaching role. There might be some of the former but it’s more of the latter. Kevin Stefanski was once the “assistant to the head coach” for Brad Childress.
