CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Vikings have requested permission to interview Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell for their head-coaching vacancy.

Bevell was a candidate for the Arizona head-coaching job last season before inking an extension with the Seahawks. The soon-to-be 44-year-old was the Vikings' offensive coordinator from 2006-2010. Seattle averaged 339 yards of total offense per game in the regular season, good for 17th in the league. Bevell prefers a run-first approach, which would obviously cater to Adrian Peterson. The Vikings have also requested an interview with Seahawks DC Dan Quinn.

The Vikings are in the process of setting up a head-coaching interview with Cardinals DC Todd Bowles.

The Browns are in pursuit of Bowles, too, though there is speculation he's only being used as satisfaction for the NFL's Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate in head-coaching searches. The Vikings have also targeted Seahawks DC Dan Quinn to replace Leslie Frazier.

Quinn also appears to be on the Browns' short list after a phenomenal year running Seattle's defense under Pete Carroll. Vikings GM Rick Spielman has said he plans to have a new head coach in place by January's Senior Bowl.

Brett Favre?

The old gunslinger coaching Johnny Football? Let's go!

David Shaw, who is head coach of Stanford right now, but I highly doubt he leaves to come to the Pros. I like him, especially since he was with Harbaugh. He is only a couple points from being undefeated this season.

Posted

I would take Favre as a OC, but I am pretty sure the Packers would want him in the office, when he is ready to get back into the NFL

Posted

Hopefully jay gruden.

Shaw and the guy from UCLA have both said they are staying.

Vikings head coach search starts with Broncos coordinators Jack Del Rio and Adam Gase

The trend of Broncos coordinators being hot NFL head coaching candidates continues in 2013. In fact, it's hotter than ever.

Minutes after the Minnesota Vikings fired Leslie Frazier, two names surfaced as possible replacements. Both are coordinators for the Denver Broncos.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings have already inquired about Adam Gase, Denver's first-year offensive coordinator. They are also thought to be interested in Jack Del Rio, the former Vikings linebacker who filled in as Broncos interim head coach for four games this season.

Broncos coordinators have been a hot NFL coaching commodity in recent years. Raiders head coach Dennis Allen was Denver's defensive coordinator, while Chargers head coach Mike McCoy left the Broncos' offensive coordinator position just a year ago.

Broncos fans thought they might have avoided losing JDR after USC hired Steve Sarkisian, but apparently Del Rio is still an interesting name in NFL coaching circles.

Jack Del Rio's head coach resume

Age: 50 | Experience: 17

Years with Broncos: 2

Record as defensive coordinator (Broncos): 26-7

Record as head coach (all-time): 71-72

Jack Del Rio went 3-1 as Broncos interim head coach in 2013, and his record as Jaguars head coach was not too shabby considering the talent his GM left him with. It's only a matter of time before Del Rio, a noted player's coach, gets a second chance in the NFL. Will that be in 2014?

Adam Gase's head coach resume

Age: 34 | Experience: 9

Years with Broncos: 5

Record as offensive coordinator (Broncos): 13-3

Adam Gase only has one season as an NFL offensive coordinator, but in that one season he helped the Broncos break just about every NFL offensive record in the book. Most of the credit has understandably gone to QB Peyton Manning - and John Elway for creating a team loaded with so much talent - but perhaps Gase is on this list because teams recognize his impact on Denver's offense as well. Gase spent two years as Broncos wide receivers coach then two years as quarterbacks coach before his promotion to offensive coordinator in January 2013, directly coaching the likes of Brandon Marshall, Tim Tebow, and Peyton Manning.

I would prefer to see some guy come in with head coaching experience but considering the Vikings have never hired one I am not holding out hope.

Of those listed above Del Rio interests me most.

What about Lovie Smith. Why not throw his hat in the ring?

Like to see Jay gruden but bet money on Jack Del Rio.

Posted

Though its not necessarily a bad thing I see Lovie in the same mold as Frazier.

Posted

Unimpressed with the Seahawk D coordinator and Bronco O-coordinator. Neither one of them has done anything meaningful enough to gain the type of recognition and have the credentials of an NFL head coach.

I wouldn't mind...

--Del Rio

--Whisenhunt

--Bengal D- Coordinator

--Jay Gruden

--others....

I think this team needs a younger, energetic guy like a Tomlin to lead us through the next few years. His mold is what I'd be looking to follow in a coaching search.

Posted

I really like the idea of Del Rio, granted he has much better talent in Denver that here. But he made that work very well. And the ties to MN wouldn't be bad either, I think he would be a good likeable guy. But Zep is right, a younger coach could be good as well as we are trying to rebuild with a younger team. But on that note wouldn't you want an older coach the young guys can look up to rather than "relate" to?

Posted

I dunno Del Rio seems like a has been to me. He does hold an NFL coaching record though,"longest tenure of any coach without winning a division championship—over eight years." I wouldn't be mad if we got him though but I'd like to see someone fresh and new.

I'm always leary of Coordinators of stacked teams, pretty much anyone on this site could be Peytons Coordinator.

I do think this team needs an energetic guy, I'd like to see a guy with some fire every now and again instead of a 24/7 statue.

Rumor is that Denny Green is getting the Sunshine Band back together and coming to town!

Posted

Just to toss out some other names: Brady Hoke, Tyrone Willingham, Chris Petersen. Jon Gruden wouldn't think about coming here, too cold and too hard to keep a tan. Mike Shanahan would want too much control and would clash with Spielman. Not sure if a coordinator would be the way to go with no coaching experience. I like Lovie because of the fact he coached in the division and knows what it takes to win. He already has a team of coaches ready to come on board with him. He won with Grossman so maybe he could do the same with um, you know, Ponder. Vikes could then draft for a different position with 8th pick and find a qb in later rounds. Whoever the coach will be I hope he can have a good working relationship with Spielman. If team continues to flounder, then Spielman gets dumped.

Posted

I just want a head coach that either can coach a QB or brings in a GOOD QB coach!

The draft in thin for a quality and ready to start QB and if we draft one, it WILL be a work in process and we see what the last 3 years did for that without a someone that knows beans about that position.

Posted

Darrel Bevell for HC and call the plays. Musgrave has to go. Maybe the ol' gunslinger for OC-QB coach. Ponder and Freeman battle for #1. draft a QB in 3-4 rounds. If Monte Kiffen wants to coach yet and the Cowboys let him go- bring him back to run the Defense. Dan Quinn looks like a quality younger guy too. If they can't get those guys, Bill Cowher or Chucky could be the BAD Ace-in-the hole motivator this team really needs

Posted

Chucky says he doesn't want any of these coaching jobs, he's happy with his Monday Night Football gig. A guy like him and Cowher want a team that's stacked, not these rebuilding mode teams.

Bevell would know how to work with our new QB Johnny Football since he is similar to Wilson. grin

What about Lovie Smith.

Leslie Part 2?

No freakin' way.

Cross this one off the list.

Penn State coach Bill O’Brien reportedly told a recruit over the weekend that he wasn’t leaving.

He may not be leaving, but he sure ain’t staying.

Via multiple reports, O’Brien has struck a deal to become the head coach of the Houston Texans. O’Brien, who spent two years at Penn State after serving as offensive coordinator of the Patriots, replaces Gary Kubiak.

You do realize that he was the OC for the legendary Kick A$$ Offense don't you?

And you want to see him bring it back? confused

Posted

Who wouldn't want the OC for the 17th ranked offense?

LOL.

Posted

George O'Leary laugh

Posted

Sounds like Lovie's going to the Bucs....

Posted

Yup.....Lovie is now the Bucs coach. Everyone is so high on Bevell, but I hope they don't give him more than a glance. The OC from Denver isnt real high on my list either. He has Manning, whom I am sure runs about 99% of the offense the way he wants to. You could put me in the OC position in Denver and they would be just as good. Del Rio I like. He did a good job in Jacksonville, considering he had absolutely no talent on that team. Has ties to the Vikings already. Gruden from the Bengals is another guy that I hope they look at hard. He developed Dalton into a great NFL QB so he can work with whomever the Vikings take in the draft.

I'm sure that the current Vikings OC and DC will be shown the door once a new coach is hired and he wants to bring in his own staff.

Old coaches like Gruden and Cowher would never even think about the Vikings job. They would want total control over the players/personnel and with Tricky Ricky still calling those shots it just aint gonna happen.

      That was a better study compared to last winter when they setup the vertical tube nets and tried to release exhausted fish from being studied and expected them to be able to swim straight down a 3' hoop net.     That lake's crappie population from this latest video was pretty deep at 40-50', and no doubt from those depths that is barotrauma for most.  That is deeper than most crappie holes but certainly how some are. However from helping give fish a good release from the 35' and less range and tracking them with live sonar most of them swim at a shallow angle back to the depths and I watch them rejoin the school and be active.  Uncut Angling's video helped counter some of the initial narrow findings.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing remains strong across the south shore of Lake of the Woods out on Big Traverse Bay.  Resorts and outfitters on some parts of the lake have ice roads extending over 16 miles staying on nice schools of walleyes and saugers.  Many fish houses are over deep mud.  Some are on structure.  It is always fishing of course, but overall, February has been very productive for most anglers.   Extensions are being used on ice augers as the ice continues to thicken.  The thick ice this year will be good for the extended ice fishing season Lake of the Woods enjoys with fish houses out through March 31st, walleyes and saugers open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes. Most fishing activity is taking place in 26-32 feet of water.  Anglers are finding a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers, with a good number of jumbo perch in the mix this year.  Some big eelpout are also showing up.  Anglers are reporting plenty of fish for fresh fish frys and usually extra fish to bring home.   The one-two punch of a jigging line and deadstick is the way to go.  On the jigging line, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been consistent.  Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures also doing well.     Lures with a light have been working well in the stained water.  Please remember, in MN, lures with a light or water activated light can be used as long as the battery is mercury free and the hook is attached directly to the lure and not as a dropper line.     On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off of the bottom.    Some days, mornings are better, other days, it's the afternoons.  There is no distinct pattern, they could come through at any time. On the Rainy River...  The start of the day and end of the day have been best for those targeting walleyes on the river. A jig and minnow or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head is also producing some fish. Some big sturgeon being iced by ice anglers targeting them.  It is a catch-and-release sturgeon season currently.   Although ice conditions on the river are good, they can vary significantly due to the current, so anglers should always consult local resorts or outfitters for the most up-to-date safety information and fishing advice. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing has been strong in the islands area of Lake of the Woods. Resorts continue to move their fish houses around, staying on the best schools of walleyes.     Anglers are catching a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch with an occasional pike or tullibee as well.     Big crappies are still being caught just over the border.  Fish houses are available, check with a NW Angle resort for info on crappie fishing.   Lake of the Woods enjoys an extended ice fishing season with fish houses on the ice through March 31st and walleye and sauger seasons open through April 14th. Perch, crappie, and pike seasons remain open year-round.

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.
