The Minnesota Vikings have finalized their 2024 Coaching Staff. 27 coaches will teach and coach the Vikings into champions. When I think of the number of coaches that teams employ these days, I think of Bud Grant and the handful of coaches that assisted him. Grant often asked: “What do all those coaches do?”
Of the 27 coaches, there are some “old” coaches with new titles. The hiring of Josh McCown to coach the quarterbacks changed the roles and titles of a couple coaches. Previous quarterbacks coach Chris O’Hara is now Senior Offensive Assistant. Grant Udinski has risen from overseeing special projects to Assistant Offensive Coordinator/Assistant Quarterbacks coach. I’ve never before seen a coach with the Assistant Offensive Coordinator title.
The Vikings WILL draft the quarterback of the future, perhaps present as well, in the upcoming draft. When that young quarterback and all of the team’s quarterbacks hit the classroom and field, there will be a team of coaches waiting for them:
Head Coach: Kevin O’Connell
Offensive Coordinator: Wes Phillips
Quarterbacks Coach: Josh McCown
Assistant Offensive Coordinator/Assistant QB Coach: Grant Udinski
Senior Offensive Assistant: Chris O’Hara
Pass Game Coodinator/Tight Ends: Brian Angelichio
Pass Game Specialist/Game Management Coordinator: Ryan Cordell
Considering the timing, the hiring of Josh McCown to coach the quarterbacks is arguably the most significant addition of the offseason. The rookie quarterback and all of the quarterbacks are entering an excellent environment.
