 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
We all knew this was coming. Who is his main assistant? Hopefully he was taking notes. I doubt Edwards goes anywhere, the D is as good as it is because of Zimmer.

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
I trust Zimmer to hire a good replacement if he needs to. It would be preferable to get someone with experience calling plays imo. What about Hue Jackson?

They chose to keep him over their front office. I'm guessing he gets another year to show some improvement. I'm not as confident in Zimmer's choice of OC (remember Norv?). Feels like we lucked into Shurmer after Norv left.

Tony Sparano? That offensive line looking good.

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
What possibilities are there? I've heard 13 coaches could be fired. Anyone of those a choice?

My in house choice would be Kevin Stefanski. If not, we could look at someone like Greg Olson (QB coach in LA), John DeFlippo (QB coach in Philly), Joe Lombardi (QB coach from New Orleans).

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
Hue Jackson would be great. I was rooting for him as a HC, but I don't think he's built for that life. As an OC though, there aren't many better. He'd keep Keenum rolling.

Just as a side note, can you imagine having a 1-31 record in two seasons? Cleveland defense is good, it surprises me that they didn't win a game this season. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Sounds like about 8 coaches will be out of a job after this week.

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
If the Vikings look externally, I say possibly jay gruden if he gets fired or John defillipo from the eagles. Not a big fan of Hue Jackson. If they want to promote from within maybe QB coach kevin stefanski. He should know the system and has been with the Vikings a while coaching QBs, RBs and TEs.

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
@christomasson 6m Lions, Cardinals have permission to interview Pat Shurmur for head position. Mike Zimmer said: "If he gets requested to interview, I'll let him interview. ... I can give him certain days (teams) can come and do that ... You can request they come here... so that's what we'll do"

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
Vikings have to give permission during season I believe ...
After season I am not sure if contract matters or not.

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
@christomasson 10h #Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will interview with the Lions and the Cardinals for head positions on Thursday in the Twin Cities. He plans to interview with the Bears but that one hasn't been scheduled yet. Updated story. twincities.com/2018/01/01/tea…
Replying to @GoesslingStrib Source says three teams have now requested interviews with Pat Shurmur: the Bears, Cardinals and Lions.

I'd hate to see Shurmur go, but he's deserved this. I hope he lands a head coaching gig.

What do you guys think about Jim Caldwell as a replacement?

 Re: Shurmer ready for head coach interviews
If the Vikings lose Shurmur, Zim could bring back Norv Turner. They have the O Line in place now.

No to Caldwell and no to Norv. Both would be a step back or in the wrong direction..either way...no for me.
