Tomlin new defensive coordinator???

Well I was thinking that this guy would make a good defensive coordinator and today they should make the annoucement that Mike Tomlin the Tampa Bay Defensive backs coach will be the new Defensive Coordinator of your Minnesota Vikings.

All reports said that Ziggy Wilf has sent his personal airplane to Tampa Bay to pick up Mike Tomlin, and bring him up to Minnesota to get a deal done. So what do i think I like being first in choosing candiates. He is young and many experts say that Mike Tomlin is a defensive innovator. He went to college with current Minnesota Viking Darren Sharper at William and Mary, and has been in charge of Ronde Barber, Brian Kelly and the potent Tampa Bay Pass defense for 5 years. This guy is going to be good and will be with the Purple for many years.

So the Coaches are starting to lineup so lets look at whats left:


Offensive Coordinators:

Darrell Bevell Quarterbacks Coach Packers
Pat Shurmur Quarterbacks Coach Eagles

Offensive Lineman Coach:

Jim Hueber Offensive Line Coach Wisconsin Badgers
Pat Morris Former Offensive Line Coach Lions

Sounds like it will be both working with the line.

Linebackers Coach:

Pete Bercich Vikings Current Linebacker Coach
Kevin Cosgrove Defensive Coordinator University of Nebraska

Running Backs Coach:

Eric Bieniemy running backs coach UCLA
Ted Williams running Backs coach Eagles
Brian White Co-Offensive Coordinator and Running Backs Wisconsin Badgers

Special Teams Coach

Brian Murphy Special Teams Coach Wisconsin Badgers
Chris Walsh Former Assitant Special Teams Coach Vikings
Ted Daisher Special Teams Assitant Eagles

Other Sports Notes:

The Minnesota Wild played the Dallas Stars last night and it was the night of bad bounces for the Wild. They got a soft goal in the first period by Randy Robatille. But after that the Dallas Stars scored two soft goals to win the game last night. It was a hard game to watch because they came out hard and lost on two bad goals.

The Minnesota Timberwolves play the Bucks tonight and really need to win over them to keep up in the Northwest Division. The Ron Artest deal is dead in the water and looks like the team is going to be playing with what they have on the bench and on the court.

The Minnesota Twins have signed Darrell May to a minor league contract you might remember Darrell May from his Kansas City days when he was beating the Twins.
