Vikings add two defensive assistant coaches under Brian Flores

The Vikings finalized a couple coaching staff positions ahead of next week's NFL Scouting Combine.

Mike Siravo, who spent the past three seasons as the Panthers' linebackers coach and defensive run game coordinator, will replace Greg Manusky as the Vikings' inside linebackers coach under new defensive coordinator Brian Flores. The Vikings let go of Manusky, who landed with the Broncos this offseason.

The Vikings also hired Lance Bennett as defensive quality control coach — a position held recently by Steve Donatell, the son of fired coordinator Ed Donatell, and Sam Siefkes, who was hired as the Cardinals linebackers coach.
