Yesterday, we brought you the report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Minnesota Vikings had denied the New York Giants permission to interview current Quarterbacks Coach Kevin Stefanski for their Offensive Coordinator vacancy. The move came as a bit of a surprise, at least to me, because it was thought that Stefanski was extraneous with the Vikings’ hiring of former Eagles’ Quarterbacks Coach John DeFilippo to fill the Offensive Coordinator position.
While the Vikings are well within their rights to prevent Stefanski from interviewing with the Giants, as he still has a year on his current contract, the current rule governing such things is dumb, in my opinion.
