Jason La Canfora reports that the Vikings will interview former Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell for their offensive coordinator vacancy later this week.
On Monday, Chris Tomasson mentioned that Bevell and QBs coach Kevin Stefanski were potential candidates for the Vikings’ job, so this doesn’t come as a big surprise.
Before that, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that Minnesota could target former Broncos OC Mike McCoy and former Giants HC Ben McAdoo as offensive coordinator replacements to Pat Shurmur.
Bevell is becoming an increasingly popular coordinator candidate and has interviewed with the Cardinals.
Bevell, 48, began his NFL coaching career with the Packers as an assistant quarterbacks coach in 2000. He eventually worked his way up to QBs coach before being hired by the Vikings as their offensive coordinator in 2006.
After five years in Minnesota, Bevell signed on with the Seahawks for the 2011 season and spent the past seven years in Seattle before he was recently fired.
In 2017, the Seahawks’ offense was No. 15 in total yards, No. 11 in points scored, No. 23 in yards rushing and No. 14 in passing offense.
We’ll have more regarding the Vikings’ offensive coordinator job as the news is available.
