Report: Former Vikings offensive coordinator lands with NFC North rival

There was a time when it looked like John DeFilippo would be one of the most sought-after offensive minds in the NFL. His creativity with the Philadelphia Eagles had teams drooling over the idea of what their offense would look like with him as their coordinator, including the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings rolled the dice on “Flip” and hired him as their offensive coordinator for the 2018 NFL season. Sadly, that didn’t work out too well for Minnesota as his contract was terminated following an embarrassing loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14 where a difference in philosophy seemed to put DeFilippo at odds with head coach Mike Zimmer.
