There have been rumors circulating this offseason that Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver coach Keenan McCardell was in the mix for an offensive coordinator position somewhere, and now he’s gotten that opportunity.
Sort of.
McCardell and former New England Patriots star Wes Welker have been named offensive coordinators for the flag football contest at this year’s Pro Bowl Games, which will take place in February a week ahead of the Super Bowl. McCardell will work with the NFC side, while Welker will call plays for the AFC. Welker is currently the wide receivers coach for the Miami Dolphins.
