Minnesota Vikings Fire Defensive Coordinator

In a crazy start to the NFL off-season, we've already seen several coaches being fired, with two Defensive Coordinators moved on earlier today, and now, the Minnesota Vikings have made it three, as they officially move on from Ed Donatell.

While the Vikings defence was solid at points throughout the season, it was no doubt the stacked offence, led by Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson and Dalvin Cook that led the way, and ultimately, the team feel like they are a contender, so they'll be looking to make changes on the defence. 

With the likes of Za'Darius Smith, Danielle Hunter and Harrison Smith leading the way, the talent is certainly still there, so with a savvy hire here, this is a Vikings team that could finally take the next step in 2023 if they play this off-season right.
