Report: Vikings interested in Eagles QB coach DeFilippo for OC opening

The Minnesota Vikings would like to speak to a man partially responsible for their playoff elimination about a position with the franchise.

The Vikings have an opening at offensive coordinator and are looking to talk to Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo about the job, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

According to Schefter, Minnesota must wait 10 days after the end of Philadelphia's season to get an opportunity to interview DeFilippo, and appear willing to be patient.

The Eagles, behind the play of backup quarterback and eventual Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, defeated the Vikings 38-7 in the NFC Championship Game.

DeFilippo has emerged as a popular coaching candidate, and has held interviews with the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals for their head coaching jobs.
