The Vikings have teamed up offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski and offensive advisor Gary Kubiak in 2019 and so far, so good.
Through 11 games, the Vikings rank eighth in points and ninth in yards.
There were some questions on whether or not these two would fit together or if Stefanski would feel threatened, but it feels like it’s going about as good as it could go.
Stefanksi was a candidate for the Cleveland Browns head coach job this offseason, which shows how highly thought of Stefanski is around the league.
Spoiler alert: Cleveland probably should have hired Stefanski.
Kubiak addressed Stefanski perhaps being a head coach candidate again this coming offseason.
“I think Kevin’s got a brilliant future,” Kubiak said earlier this week. “The key to getting in position to do those type of things is calling games, calling defenses, calling offenses, making decisions, handling a meeting room of a bunch of players, being able to get the most out of not only players, but coaches as well. Kevin’s been exceptional and this is a great opportunity for him this year to do it in a full-time basis. He’s doing a great job with it.”
If the Vikings continue to have success, there’s a good chance we’ll hear Stefanski’s name floating around head coaching vacancies.
