The Minnesota Vikings could be zeroing in on Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Wes Phillips as their next offensive coordinator. - Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reported the news on Tuesday. - “I’m told a name to keep an eye on for #Vikings offensive coordinator is indeed Rams passing game coor/TE coach Wes Phillips,” Tomasson posted on Twitter. - Wes is the son of former longtime NFL defensive coach Wade Phillips. - He has spent many years working alongside soon-to-be hired Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell with the Rams and Washington Commanders. His path also crossed with quarterback Kirk Cousins in Washington for the 2017 season. - So there’s a lot of familiarity here that feeds into a common theme for the candidates looking to fill these job openings. The Vikings are clearly looking to make the current facelift their coaching staff is facing as seamless as possible. - If offered the job, Wes could start carving out his own path as a high-end coach in the league just like his father did before him. - - List - - Vikings fans campaigning for Kyler Murray trade - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Vikings Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Vikings Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
