With Gary Kubiak retiring, the Vikings are on the lookout for yet another offensive coordinator during the Mike Zimmer era.
Apparently, their search will involve Giants wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, according to a report. Minnesota is interviewing Tolbert for the open position, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Tolbert, who worked under Kubiak during the Broncos’ Super Bowl run, would likely keep the same style of offense the Vikings have now, per Rapoport. Minnesota utilizes a run-heavy style that incorporates play-action passing.
The Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling reported last week that Klint Kubiak was the front-runner for the Vikings’ open offensive coordinator position. Klint is Gary’s son and the current quarterbacks coach.
Minnesota’s coaching staff already looks pretty different than what it did in 2020. The Vikings have to make sure their changes advance the team, especially on offense. Despite a down year, I think Minnesota’s offensive coordinator position would be a pretty good role for a young coach. We’ll update you on anything the team decides to do.
