According to Adam Caplan, the Vikings are expected to hire former Raiders OC Todd Downing as their senior offensive assistant.
The Bears previously interviewed Downing for their quarterbacks’ coach position, but elected to go in a different direction.
Downing, 37, began his NFL coaching career as an offensive quality control coach with the Vikings back in 2005. He then served as a defensive assistant the Rams before landing a spot with the Lions as an offensive quality control coach.
The Lions promoted him to QBs coach in 2011 before signing on with the Bills to the same position in 2014. The Raiders brought him on as their QBs coach in 2015 and promoted him to offensive coordinator last season.
In his first season as an NFL offensive coordinator, Oakland ranked No. 23 in total points, No. 18 in total yards, No. 16 in passing yards, and No. 25 in rushing yards.
