MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Minnesota Vikings have removed the interim tag from Pat Shurmur, officially naming him the team’s offensive coordinator Friday.
The announcement came with a few other coaching changes. Kevin Stefanski, the team’s running back coach, is now coaching the quarterbacks. Replacing him will be new hire Kennedy Polamalu. Clancy Barone has been hired as the tight ends coach.
Shurmur was hired as tight ends coach last year before being promoted to interim offensive coordinator when Norv Turner resigned midseason.
2017 will be Stefanski’s 12th year with the Vikings. He previously served as both the assistant quarterbacks coach and tight ends coach.
