Vikings Look to In-House Candidate for DC Opening
So far, we’ve known that the Vikings have at least 3 candidates to be the defensive coordinator. Brian Flores, Ryan Nielsen, and Sean Desai are those men. According to Ben Goessling, we should be adding a 4th name to the list: current assistant head coach Mike Pettine.
Take a look at the tweet:
For some, Pettine will be an uninspiring option. He was in the building last season when Minnesota’s defense finished 28th in points against and 31st in yards allowed. True, he wasn’t the main architect and nor was he the playcaller, but he was still someone with tremendous influence.
