With reporting that the Vikings will be conducting a search in the coming days to replace Mike Zimmer as head coach, the question of who the leading head coaching candidates may be this year comes immediately into question.
Not far behind that are questions like how to assess what makes for a good head coach, and whether to go with an offensive or defensive head coach, younger or older, previous experience or not, college or pro, and so forth. Most importantly, who would be a good fit for this Vikings franchise right now, and who can do what no other head coach has been able to do- bring a championship to Minnesota.
