The Vikings' ownership and front office have shown an affinity for continuity in recent years under the leadership of the Wilf Family.
When some NFL teams have shown they cannot get out of their own way, the Vikings have emerged as one of the more stable franchises in the league. They show that by keeping their leadership in place with extensions for head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. From there, we can also look at promotions for various members within the front office who have helped build this talented roster.
Now, eyes are turning towards the coaching staff.
Ben Goessling of The Star Tribune spoke on his show Access Vikings and shared some details about a possible extension for offensive coordinator Wes Phillips. He added, “It sounds like we may hear something in the not-too-distant future on the Wes Phillips front.”
Wes Phillips is often forgotten about on the Vikings coaching staff and his coaching of the offense.
Most the spotlight goes to Kevin O'Connell due to his background and playing career being a reason to give him his flowers. Last year when Sam Darnold had his breakout year, Phillips played a big role in that and it is likely why an extension is now being discussed.
It is well earned and will help keep O'Connell's staff around for years to come.
