While nothing formal’s transpired yet on the John DeFilippo-to-Minnesota front, the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach looks like a candidate to become the next Vikings OC.
The Vikings plan to meet with DeFilippo, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports (on Twitter).
This subject has not produced much clarity. A report indicated the Vikings were hopeful about a DeFilippo summit emerged last week, but Goessling added shortly after that the two-year Eagles QBs coach was more likely to stay in Philadelphia for a third season.
Regardless, the Vikings want to have their OC spot filled by midweek. The team has already interviewed four candidates to fill the position Pat Shurmur vacated, and this position still being unfilled points to the franchise eyeing a member of one of the Super Bowl entrants’ staffs.
DeFilippo was a hot commodity on the coaching circuit after Carson Wentz‘s MVP-caliber showing pre-injury, and Nick Foles‘ virtuoso display in Super Bowl LII surely did nothing to diminish DeFilippo’s stock.
