Another Defensive Coordinator Candidate Is Officially off the Board

The Minnesota Vikings have been hard at work this week, interviewing multiple defensive coordinator candidates to take over the coaching position for the 2023 season. So far, they’ve interviewed four candidates including Sean Desai, Brian Flores, Ryan Nielsen, and in-house candidate Mike Pettine, but there could be more on the way.

Prior to Sunday, Nielsen was the only defensive coordinator candidate to accept a job elsewhere, signing with the Atlanta Falcons and staying within the NFC South. However, now another candidate is off the board; one that the Vikings did not get a chance to interview.
