3 years agoEd Donatell has emerged as the favorite for the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator position, according to sources. The Seattle Seahawks were hoping to hire him as a defensive assistant, but they are now bracing to losing him to Minnesota. Soon-to-be Vikings head coach and Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell will get a coordinator with 31 years of NFL coaching experience in Donatell. The 65-year-old has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL for 10 seasons, including the past three for the Denver Broncos. Denver's defense finished eighth in the league in yards allowed (5,544) and third in points allowed (322) in 2021 under Donatell. The Vikings, meanwhile, allowed the third-most yards per game (383.6) and were ninth-worst with 25.1 points allowed per game.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
