The Vikings are a team in limbo, awaiting the moment they can officially hire Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell as the 10th head coach in franchise history.
He cannot assume the position until after the Rams play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 13, and on Thursday, a day after verbally agreeing to hire O'Connell and letting Jim Harbaugh leave without an offer, the Vikings decided to let a few more coaches walk out the doors of TCO Performance Center.
Ryan Ficken was announced as the new Chargers special teams coordinator. Andrew Janocko will become the Bears quarterbacks coach, according to a league source, while offensive line coach Phil Rauscher has accepted the same position with the Bills.
