New England Patriots pass over Keenan McCardell for OC position

One of the most effective coaches on the Minnesota Vikings’ current staff appears to be staying put.

For now, at least.

Numerous reports have surfaced that the New England Patriots have chosen to hire former Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien to fill their offensive coordinator position under Bill Belichick. McCardell had interviewed for that job last week and was thought to possibly be a favorite for the position, but Darth Hoodie has chosen to go another direction.

While you always want to see people get the opportunity to thrive and succeed somewhere else, most Vikings fans are probably happy to see McCardell stay around.
