Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak is now the former offensive coordinator. The Super Bowl champion head coach with the 2015 Denver Broncos is retiring for the second time in five years – this time with presumed permanence.
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer will now forage for his sixth offensive coordinator in eight years.
Kubiak succeeded Kevin Stefanski – who is on the cusp of winning the NFL’s Coach of the Year honor with Cleveland Browns – about one year ago. He accompanied Stefanski in a mysterious role as assistant head coach while most of the time onlookers perceived him as a co-offensive coordinator.
