George Edwards May Not Be Back As Vikings’ Defensive Coordinator Next Year?

Alex Marvez of Sirius XM NFL Radio is told that Vikings DC George Edwards may not be back as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2020. 

Marvez mentions that Edwards is currently in the final year of his contract.

Edwards has come up as a potential head-coaching candidate to watch in recent years and even interviewed Buccaneers’ job last year before they hired Bruce Arians. 

Edwards, 52, began his coaching career back in 1991 as an assistant at Florida. He worked for a few colleges before accepting the LBs coaching job with the Cowboys in 1998.

Since then, Edwards has worked for a number of NFL teams including the Redskins, Browns, Dolphins and Bills before the Vikings hired him as their defensive coordinator in 2014.

In 2019, the Vikings’ defense ranks No. 14 in yards allowed, No. 6 in points allowed, No. 14 in rushing yards allowed, and No. 16 in passing yards allowed.
