Vikings fired underperforming OC John DeFilippo; is Steve Sarkisian next?

It was only October when Steve Sarkisian had put together his best stretch as an offensive coordinator. The Atlanta Falcons had gaudy red zone and third down numbers, manufacturing 30+ points per game. Times have changed. After 31 games as the offensive play-caller, Sarkisian just still doesn’t have it.

It’s also firing season. The NFL is all about the results, and guys like Vikings offensive coordinator didn’t produce results.

Sarkisian has obviously gotten a lot more time than Defilippo. The results are still just as bad. The Falcons are already giving their young players more snaps to see what they have there.
