Five dream candidates to be the Vikings’ next quarterbacks coach

After the recent departure of Scott Turner, the Minnesota Vikings could be in the hunt for a new quarterbacks coach and there are some abnormal choices out there that would be a ton of fun if selected.

On Monday, it was revealed that the Minnesota Vikings and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner would be going their separate ways heading into the 2017 season. Despite his father Norv resigning from his duties as the team’s offensive coordinator back in November, Scott elected to stay on the Vikings’ staff for the remainder of the year.

So now that Minnesota has an opening for a new quarterbacks coach, who will they choose to fill it?

Will the Vikings decide to just have Pat Shurmur coach the quarterbacks in addition to being the team’s offensive coordinator? He does have experience with the position as he was in charge of coaching the quarterbacks for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2002 to 2008.

Or Minnesota could just take the more traditional route and hire someone to fill the opening to allow Shurmur to just focus all of his time on coaching the entire offense.

It seems pretty simple to think up some logical candidates to become the Vikings’ new quarterbacks coach. But this is Minnesota we are talking about and the concept of logic sometimes seems a bit too hard to grasp, so some fun might as well be had with this coaching search.
