The Vikings’ search for an offensive coordinator to replace Pat Shurmur is now in its third week, and could continue for at least a week longer. The team wants to interview Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, according to a league source, but as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday, the Vikings have to wait until Feb. 14 to do so.
Coaches’ contracts typically run until 10 days after the conclusion of a team’s season, and teams can block their coaches from interviewing for other jobs until those contracts expire. Unless, of course, the other job in question is a head coaching position.
