It appears as if the Vikings will be looking for both an offensive and a defensive coordinator for 2020.
Earlier on Sunday, it was reported that the team’s offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski would be the next coach of the Cleveland Browns. And late Sunday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards is not expected to return in 2020.
Edwards’ contract is up and it will not be extended.
Vikings’ defensive coordinator George Edwards is not expected to return to Minnesota for next season, per source.

Edwards has been the team’s defensive coordinator since 2014. With that being said, coach Mike Zimmer is the brains behind the defense and makes most of the calls.
It feels like there has to be a candidate that the Vikings have in mind if they are making such a move. We’ll keep you updated.
