With Pat Shurmur reportedly leaving the Minnesota Vikings following the conclusion of the season to take the New York Giants' head coaching job, the club will have to find a new offensive coordinator.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, two names considered for the role are former head coaches Mike McCoy and Ben McAdoo.
McCoy served as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers from 2013-16 and spent the last season as offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos. He was fired midseason in the midst of a six-game losing streak.
McAdoo was fired from his head coaching position with the Giants after 12 games this year, holding a dismal 2-10 record at the time. He was the offensive coordinator for the club before his promotion to head coach prior to the 2016 campaign.
Whoever takes the position will be inheriting the league's 10th-ranked offense from the 2017 season, as the Vikings averaged just under 24 points per game. The main question for the incoming offensive coordinator is at the quarterback position as Case Keenum, Teddy Bridgewater, and Sam Bradford are all set to hit free agency in 2018.
