Vikings OC Pat Shurmur Wins Assistant Coach Of The Year

Vikings OC Pat Shurmur was named 2017 Assitant Coach of the Year award Saturday night at NFL Honors.

Shurmur, 52, began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles in 1999 as their tight ends and offensive line coach. He was promoted to QBs coach before departing to become the offensive coordinator of the Rams in 2009.

Mike Holmgren hired Shurmur as the Browns head coach a few years later but he lasted just two seasons in Cleveland. After a few years with the Eagles, the Vikings hired him as their tight ends coach in 2016 and he worked his way up to offensive coordinator.

The Giants hired him as their head coach last week.
