Report: Vikings hire Troy Polamalu’s uncle as new running backs coach

In 2017, the Minnesota Vikings will have a new guy in charge of the team’s running backs as they are expected to hire Kennedy Polamalu as their new running backs coach according to the Sporting News’ Alex Marvez on Tuesday.

Polamalu spent 2016 as the offensive coordinator for UCLA, but he was not retained by the school after the end of their season. It likely had to do with the fact that the school ranked 96th (out of 128 FBS schools) in scoring offense, 92nd in total offense, and 127th in rushing yards per game under his guidance.
