Interim Offensive Coordinator Kevin Stefanski will not be returning to the Offensive Coordinator position for the 2019 season, source says.

It appears that this is the choice of Stefanski himself, not the Minnesota Vikings organization. It’s worth noting that head coach Mike Zimmer said that he thought Stefanski did well in the role given the circumstances, so he may have had a chance at landing the job. Stefanski has also recently interviewed with the Cleveland Browns for a head coaching spot.

In the search for an offensive coordinator, it appears that Hue Jackson and Kevin Stefanski are out, and Mike Mularkey is on the wish list. Mike Mularkey has served in various coaching positions around the league since 1994, and is a former Minnesota Vikings tight end.
