You may be right. Although I wouldn't do it. Found this about him.
Kevin Stefanski nearly became an NFL head coach this offseason, but the Cleveland Browns decided to elevate Freddie Kitchens instead. Stefanski returned to the Minnesota Vikings as their offensive coordinator and now has a full season to prove he's ready for the next step.
So there is some respect for him.
I agree that he's probably not quite ready to be a head coach, but I would be floored if he didn't at least get some interviews again this off-season. Like Char stated, he was actually close to getting the job in Cleveland. You don't think Cleveland regrets that already? Kitchens hasn't exactly helped that team produce, when you consider the talent they have. Teams are desperate the next big thing in coaching. I can almost guarantee that Stefanski is on a few lists already. He's moved up the ranks very quickly lately in the Viking's organization. At this point, I don't even think it matters if the Viking's success continues.

I wish we could have some continuity for a while. I'm hoping he doesn't go anywhere and we can see if this is more than a flash in the pan. If he does though, I'd be on board with Shurmur as the OC... and hopefully Kubiak stays in the same role.
After watching that game last night maybe we should make him HC. Not going by just one game but we can't beat a good team on the road. Bears(not really good just ok), Pack,Chiefs,Hawks... need I go on. There is a pattern already established. That's Zim's BS. That embarrassment last night was the finale nail for me. Every poster on this board knew our secondary needed to play better. That didn't happen. They were destroyed. Didn't even cover guys. Gave up in a big game. That's terrible coaching. Two weeks of preparation. He could have 20 weeks and it would have been the same. He had a nice run and made the championship game one year. But this D blows and that's his specialty. Most have said it this D isn't good enough for the show. It would be refreshing to get a young HC. He's on board already. It will bring some life to the team. Watching Rhodes he seems frustrated. That's terrible coaching. It would bring some life and hope to the fan base also. No more of the same old BS. Yes we may tank. I'll take the 1st pick for once over this pretend stuff. There's more value there.
