Has shurmur actually succeeded somewhere?

Or just bounced around?

Did Minn win due to his offense or Zimmer’s defense?

Someone accomplished taking over the Monday - Saturday part of the job.

Yes, but it is one thing to go from Head Coach to Offensive Coordinator. I doubt he would go from Head Coach to Offensive Coordinator not calling the plays. And I do want him here.

My fear is he comes, and if we make a HC change down the line, he gets the job.

He has failed miserably twice.

Yeah, I have been pulling for him at OC since the Giants canned him, but I too doubt he would take the job. Especially after hiring Castillo already. I am thinking you will see someone that worked with Castillo in Philly/Buffalo get the OC gig.

Something I was thinking about the other day: is there a chance Nagy gave up playcalling at the end of last season and we didn’t know it? The play calling at the end of last season was much different than at any other point in Nagy’s tenure. Howard was actually getting carries out of the “I” and that seems like an abnormality in this offense with Nagy calling plays.

How would that work? Too many cooks in the kitchen IMO.
They review the games together, discuss what worked and what didnt, formulate game plans, etc. You know standard work together type stuff.

I was not implying Shurmur stand behind him on gameday and backseat drive his playcalls.

The Vikings were 5th in offensive DVOA in 2017. They added Cousins and dropped to 18th in 2018.
