Thread: Source: Vikings to meet Josh McDaniels

Former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels is scheduled to meet Friday with the Minnesota Vikings regarding a potential spot on Leslie Frazier's coaching staff, a source told ESPN on Thursday.

It seems unlikely that McDaniels would consider anything below the offensive coordinator's position, which in Minnesota is still held by Darrell Bevell.

Damn you are fast Carol! Was just about to post this.

Woody Paige said that McD doesn't like Orton, which is too bad considering Minnesota is looking for a QB and we'll be looking to unload him soon. Still, maybe they'll want to bring in Orton and draft a young guy.

Josh McDaniels would rather be an assistant coach in Minnesota than a head coach in San Francisco.

ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that McDaniels is scheduled to meet Friday with Vikings coach Leslie Frazier about an undefined assistant coaching job. (Very likely the offensive coordinator position.) McD passed up a chance to interview for the 49ers head coaching job earlier Thursday.

Don’t forget the Vikings still have an offensive coordinator: Brett Favre’s BFF Darrell Bevell. While nothing has been made official about Bevell’s status, this news strongly indicates the Vikings are looking to go in a new direction. The Childress-Favre-Bevell offense appears to be on the way out.

Scanning the interwebs for Bronco news is her full time job I think. She is like our Bronco version of the Matrix guys who see all the computer code scanning by and are able to read it. Carol is awesome.

Maybe he's going there to be the GM.




Seriously though, the first thought that popped into my mind was "Welcome to Minn. Kyle Orton."

Cool. Maybe he'll trade us Adrian Peterson and Visente Shancoe (sp) for Kyle Orton and draft picks.

McDaniels watches a ton of Food Network and has a bunch of awesome recipes and knows a bunch of sweet tricks to make tasty food, but when he goes to the store, he buys old produce and sometimes gets baking powder when he means to buy sugar.

Put him in the right environment (like as a contestant on Chopped) though, and he'd be pretty good.

^Mcdaniels went to the store for steak and came home with dog food

I'll trade you some kobe steaks for some off brand hot dogs.

Two of this season's deposed head coaches could land jobs with a team that may build a new staff of its own.

ESPN reports that former Denver Broncos boss Josh McDaniels will meet with newly anointed Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier about a position Friday. McDaniels could supplant Darrell Bevell as the offensive coordinator.

Frazier is also eyeing ex-San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary to coach the Minnesota linebackers.

I wish Joe Ellis would interview with some other teams.
